OPERATION MOBILITY
Veterans Green Projects Initiative (VGPI) Foundation, is a veteran operated 501(c)3, with a mission. Providing funds for job creation, job placement, housing assistance and educational services to
veterans, their dependents and transitioning active-duty military by leveraging Veterans Green Projects Initiatives and all other business affiliates that have offered VGPI Foundation their
resources.
With diverse business partners that have already mobilized to help such as: Veterans Green Coffee, a brand that has been
represented by the Randy Jones Foundation; with a nationwide outreach, they sponsor celebrity golf tournaments and employee veterans, of course.
Also, Veterans Green Projects, a large electronics waste recycling facility employing numerous veterans and training
them in a variety technical skills, also fulfills the “green” mission with its environmental focus.
VGPI has recently launched OPERATION MOBILITY as rapid response program to deliver a donated Toyota Mobility Van to a disabled veteran in our community. OPERATION MOBILITY
quickly became a multi-faceted approach involving all of the VGPI partner’s that represent a wide diversity of industries. The mixture of business (employing veterans) created a way for
veterans that have now been employed, feel mobilized to help another veteran in great need. The Mobility Van was gift from a retired WWII Navy Veteran. “They wanted to know that the
van would go to a deserving veteran and VGPI was given the honor by being selected,” said Michael W. Malott, founder and chairman of the San Diego based foundation. Although saddened
to learn of the 100-year-old veterans passing, “We have been trusted to turn over command of this van to a deserving veteran, and that is the silver lining as I see it.” Malott said, “Details will
be coming soon as to how the public can recommend someone and how we will be accepting qualified applicants; be sure to follow us.
The song, “This Van” was commissioned by producer & engineer Keith “Baz” Barrows (Nancy Sinatra, Earth Wind & Fire, U2, Rage Against the Machine) and marked a new phase in OPERATION MOBILITY that led to an internal
“Rock`n’Roll for Vets” campaign. As artists like Don Randi (Wrecking Crew) a producer and musical director became involved it took on an 80’s vibe reminiscent of “We are the world.” We have talent from legends in the rock world:
Clem Burke (Blondie, Ramones) and Gilby Clarke (Guns & Roses, Heart). Baz & Malott who have led 360 TV Network & 360 Studios can now provide awareness through music videos,
documentaries and existing shows on the TV network. We love the fact they see this as a way to help with the upward mobility of American Veterans and use Rock to send the message out
to the masses. 360 Studios LTD finished its recent season of a show, Nashville’s Next Best of 3 with another talented musician being brought to the stage front and a show format that attracted Kid Rock.
The next season will be at his club in Nashville. Awareness for vets by using music to move people isn’t the only trick in the bag. 360 STUDIOS LTD is in early phase production of the series
Combat Pugilist, a mixed martial arts battle held within a ring where combatants use pugil sticks like the military uses in training for combat. All of this production is an integral part of
raising awareness and to establish opportunities and upward mobility for Veterans related to Employment, Housing, Education, and Training.
The degree to which the business partners of VGPI have been committed shows that there is only opportunity and success ahead for American Veterans with the launch of OPERATION MOBILITY.
