BANK
OF AMERICA SINKS IN THE PATRIOT INDEX
Based
on thirteen indices of performance, the Association
for Service Disabled Veterans (ASDV) businesses
has disclosed that the BANK OF AMERICA has the best
performance record for assisting Service Disabled
and Prisoner of War Veterans (SDV) to maintain their
rehabilitation as smaller business owners and operators
(SDVE).
"The retirement of Hugh McColl
as Chairman of The Bank of America has terminated programs
for SDVE"
said John K. Lopez, Chairman of ASDV.
"All Americans should scrutinize
and evaluate an industry and their support of those persons
who sacrificed their well being for the freedom and security
of the world," said Lopez.
It
is also noteworthy that in recent weeks several other banking
industry leaders have "made
the connection"
between their prosperity and the sacrifice of America's service
disabled veterans.
ASDV is compiling related
indices measuring the telecommunications, telecom manufacturing,
banking, financial services, power utility and the government
agency community support for the rehabilitation of our nation's
service disabled and prisoner of war veterans.
