Foreclosures for Soldiers. What a warm welcome home from JP Morgan Chase.


Army Spc. Aaron Collette is greeted upon his arrival at his father's Bend, Ore., home, which had been signed over to the bank two hours earlier. (Kim Murphy, Los Angeles Times / August 11, 2011)

Could it be the 'timing' was no coincidence?

Just a guess.

...That Collette would lose his house and celebrate a homecoming on the same day was dismal coincidence. But the 59-year-old kitchen-and-flooring contractor, who has become an expert at testifying before legislative committees, giving television interviews and mobilizing public ire at the banking industry, is determined that, unlike the thousands of foreclosure stories playing out in quiet misery across America, this one will not end quietly....


Imagine that, an American soldier that actually isn't fighting to save banks, but, sincerely interested in the American Dream.  I'll be darn.
