DirectBuy of The Palm Beaches takes a more “direct” approach to supporting our troops.

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, USA (SANEPR.com) June 9, 2008 -- “Supporting our troops means more to me than just a bumper sticker. It means supporting their efforts over there, but maybe even more importantly when the soldiers return home,” said Levin. “We owe our servicemen and women a debt of more than gratitude but one of opportunity that should extend well beyond their homecoming, really for the rest of their lives.”

DirectBuy staff with service time include:

? Sgt. Jymi Walker, of Lake Worth, Florida; U.S. Air Force, 1976-80; inducted into VFW Post 24, Lake Worth, FL
? 1st Sgt. Joanna Fernando, of West Palm Beach, Florida; U.S. Army, 1989-2001, Desert Storm 1990-91
? Operations Specialist Ben Martin, of Royal Palm Beach, Florida; U.S. Navy, 1998-2002, stationed off the coast of Iraq, pre 9/11.
? Private Tom Lowe, of Royal Palm Beach, Florida; U.S. Army, 1992-1996; Awarded Overseas Ribbon
? Specialist Jimmy Field, of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida; U.S. Army, 1992-1993
? Seaman 2nd Class Jan Myers, of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida; U.S. Navy, 1977-1979; 4.0 Recruit

“When you talk to our staff who have been in harm’s way or difficult situations, it gives a completely different perspective on just about everything,” continued Levin. “Honestly, I’m not only proud to have all the veterans on my staff, but, as an American, just proud to know these people, period.”
