WE REMEMBER

In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them. In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them. In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them. In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, we remember them. In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them. In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them. When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them. When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them. So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

PARADE

We participate in several parades a year. The Allen City Memorial Parade, The Medal of Honor Parade in Gainsville TX, and the Dallas Veterans Day Parade.

Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!!

Sponsor - SWBC® Mortgage Corporation, Chip Thompson

Chip ThompsonHelping families realize the dream of home ownership is my passion. Over the years, I have been able to assist families obtain financing, many of them for the first time, and it never gets old. To me, its always been more than a job. The satisfaction and pride I feel each time one of my Borrowers becomes a Homeowner is indescribable. Each one is an emotional investment for me as every Borrower is more than just a loan, they are friends, neighbors & my community.

My extensive experience as a Loan Officer and knowledge of the industry allows me to tailor each loan to meet the specific needs of each individual. Everyone's story is different, so no one loan will fit everyone's needs. My job is to find that perfect fit.
