300 veterans, some trained in crisis management, have been donating their time and leading the cleanup effort in the hard hit Rockaway neighborhood in Queens, NY, making life easier for storm weary residents.

Their organization, Team Rubicon, helps others but also helps ex-soldiers from around the country who need a new mission in life, something to become passionate about. They've joined together to tackle the seemingly endless task of removing debris and rehabilitating the homes for an entire neighborhood.
