This is a Call to Arms from Vietnam Veteran Jerome Loston

RE: January 9, 1969 and what is happening on January 9, 2012

On January 9 2012 my home is scheduled to go on the auction block. I am a 63 year-old Vietnam Veteran rendered totally disabled as a result of injuries sustained during active duty in Vietnam on January 9th 1969. Following the attack, I laid in a coma for six months. My parents were told that I was dead. I was told I would lose my legs. Against the odds I survived the injuries I sustained in Vietnam. On January 4th I will find myself again in the trenches, but this time against Wells Fargo Bank. I need your help and This is a Call to Arms!

I am not alone in my struggles with Wells Fargo Bank. I am only one of millions who have fallen victim to the banks’ criminal practices in their dealings with homeowners. I ask that you stand with me and show the banks that we are an “Army of One” and ask that they put an end to their criminal dealings now!

Please call me at (925) 838-8442. I am in the process of mobilizing efforts in order to secure a modification from Wells Fargo Bank so my family can stay in our home. I am a victim of World Savings’ “Pick-a-Pay” loan and the World Savings/Wachovia/Wells Fargo merger. You can get more information about the atrocities committed by World Savings here:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/02/13/60minutes/main4801309. shtml

We have heard the stories of how banks have not been fair in their dealings with our Veterans and Servicemembers:

http://grabashovel.com/2011/11/20/unlawfully-foreclose d--get-justice/

It’s time that we stand as an “Army of One” and demand that the banks stop abusing our citizens, Veterans and our Servicemembers. We need to let the banks know that the buck stops here. I am asking that you stand with me as we fight to get a modification so we can keep our home. We have designated Wednesday, January 4th as our “Day of Action” against Wells Fargo Bank.

We will be meeting at WELLS FARGO BANK HEADQUARTERS (1901 Harrison Street, Oakland, CA 94612) to speak with Jim Foley, Regional President for Northern California at 3:00 pm.

If you cannot make it on Wednesday, January 4th at 3pm, we encourage you to contact Jim Foley at (510) 446-5194 or jim.w.foley@wellsfargo.com. Remind Wells Fargo Bank and Jim Foley how the Veterans and Servicemembers have bravely served our country without hesitation. Tell him that Wells Fargo can do a better job of keeping our Veterans and Servicemembers in their homes. Let Wells Fargo Bank and Jim Foley know that you are standing in solidarity with Jerome and Linda Loston and ask that Wells Fargo Bank modify the Loston’s “Pick-a-Pay” loan. If you really want to make a difference, tell Wells Fargo Bank and Jim Foley that you are going to divest your money from Wells Fargo Bank unless they do the right thing. Let him know that you are part of the “Army of One.”

Best Regards.

Yours in Solidarity. . .

Jerome Loston

If you (or someone you know) are also facing foreclosure or having problems getting lenders to assist you with a modification contact Occupy Our Homes at www.OccupyOurHomes.org and Home Defenders League at 510-269-4692 ext. 502 for assistance.

Just signed on to this site and was reading the emails. Wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday. I was attached to your unit working with ASA in the 409th RRD. I don't know if anyone saw it, but my track was called "The Outcasts" for various reasons. Take care, Randy.
