MEET JAMES
James is a 66 year old retired Veteran. He was an Electronic Specialist in the US Army and was honorably discharged after 10 years of service.
One of his goals is to become a recovery coach and share with veterans in recovery what he has learned on his journey. He enjoys fishing, and has recently joined the American Legion becoming part of their honor guard for veteran funerals.

As he was moving in, we had a chance to sit down with James to hear some of his thoughts on being the first resident at Sacred Heart Veteran Village:
"I'm excited and proud, Looking forward to taking advantage of many opportunities available through the Village. Determined to spread the word to other recovery places of the many opportunities through SHVV!" - James
