Dean James AMERICA’S FREEDOM FIGHTERS–
An Iowa man noticed the same silver Jeep lurking in the parking lots of Walmart and Target stores over the past few weeks which sparked his curiosity. Finally he decided to investigate and what he discovered is extremely disturbing.
The man’s name is Jake Holloway and what he discovered compelled him to write a passionate post on his Facebook page urging people to help solve this problem.
Holloway wrote that he had noticed a silver Jeep in the parking lots of the Altoona Walmart and Target over the past few weeks, according to WHO-TV. He noticed an “I served” Iraq sticker in the back window and decided to stop and talk with the man.
Holloway spoke with the man inside the Jeep, who’s name is Nick and learned that the man returned from serving overseas only to have his wife leave him. All Nick had to his name was his Jeep and his dog. Very sad.
I see a lot of people out there posting about wanting to help people for the holidays. Here’s my request. I don’t know…

Nick told his heartbreaking story to Holloway and revealed that he had been sleeping in his Jeep since his wife kicked him out. Nick said he was recently hired by the DOT, but he hadn’t been paid yet so Holloway decided to take immediate action.
Holloway posted to Facebook , asking people to help Nick out.
“If you see him. Out of the kindness of your heart. Do something nice for him or his best friend (the boxer dog),” Holloway wrote in his post. “Few bucks. A gift. Some dog food… that’s my request… Makes me sick to see a soldier on the street.”
My good friend Sean Brown at Mad World News writes:
It makes us sick too, and apparently, it does the people in Altoona. According to WHO-TV, after Holloway’s post went viral, people showed an outpouring of support for Nick and his dog, and dozens of people stopped by the Walmart to drop off everything from gift cards to money, and some people even brought Nick food for his loyal friend. One extraordinarily kind person even went down to the Walmart and paid in full for Nick and his dog to stay at a hotel for a week.
The outpouring of support for Nick, who spent 17 years in the military and did four tours overseas, has been tremendous. People seemed beyond eager to help a war veteran, and he apparently received most everything he needed to get by until he gets paid from his new job.
Kudos to Holloway for going out of his way and making a Christmas miracle happen for a veteran down on their luck. He could have easily went on about his life and never done a thing, but instead, his generous nature ensured that Nick has a warm place to rest, and his best friend is taken care of.
We urge all of you PATRIOTS to do the same. When you see a veteran down on his luck, help him out. And when you see a veteran in the supermarket or gas station, go out of your way to thank them for their service. Reach out, thank them and shake their hand. I guarantee you will bring a smile to their face.
My son and I help local veterans in our community by donating substantial amounts of money, clothing and dog food. We do this we tell them that this is from our FANTASTIC members from our Facebook pages- Nation In Distress and America’s Freedom Fighters!
God Bless you all and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
