Frank DeStenfano of Albrightsville just can't understand the mentality of someone who would cause damage to VALOR Clinic in Jonas.

"It is such a good cause. So many people have been volunteering here, painting, constructing, making it look nice for our veterans. Who does that kind of thing?" he wonders.He's referring to the recent vandalism to the former Jonas Hotel which is now the VALOR Clinic, a program for homeless veterans which will open Oct. 1.Hundreds of volunteers have been working steadily since July, providing so much manpower and many man-hours to renovate the well-known Jonas landmark to accommodate homeless veterans as they go through a program to help them re-enter society.DeStenfano, a retired landscaper and general contractor, has been one of those volunteers who has been donating his time and supplies.He recently made and installed a large picnic table made out of two 24-inch wide spruce wood planks with 24-inch diameter hemlock stump legs. The benches are made of cherry wood planks. He will be bringing in a gazebo, which he will then landscape around it and he plans to build an outdoor barbecue area out of stone. He completed the stone wall in front of the building.He says he's doing it in memory and honor of his father and two uncles who were in the U.S. Marines and another uncle who served in the U.S. Navy."I didn't really know my father. He died when I was very young. I couldn't enlist because I had too many medical problems. But my family and I wanted to do something to honor our military veterans and this was close to home and helping local veterans," says DeStenfano.DeStenfano is just one of the hundreds of volunteers and supporters of VALOR Clinic who welcomes it to the neighborhood and thinks it's a crying shame that someone is causing such costly damage to a great cause.
