One Ex-Soldier Knows Exactly Why Program Needed.

As a newly married, 19-year-old Marine Lance Corporal just back from a year and a half in Vietnam, Sargent wanted to drive home to visit his parents, but a flat tire ruled that out. Back in those days, Sargent would have had to wait until his next payday to get the tire repaired. Sargent's tale of woe ended happily with his parents springing for a new set of tires, but many 1st Advantage members aren't as fortunate to have family nearby.
