Have you had that financial and character conversation necessary to prepare them? If you haven't yet, you probably will want to.BTYS is making an investment in our community and our youth. Thank you, Tameka Vaden, Lawrence Howerton, Jr., and Southside Outreach Group for putting your BOOTS ON THE GROUND!
There are only a few things in life that are free. Most things of value must be earned! Inheritance, entrepreneurship, or employment are the main options available to most.

Thank you Gabe for putting your BOOTS ON THE GROUND!
How many times have you heard a young person say, "I WANT A CAR". Shawn A. Barksdale and Boots On The Ground sat down with the Terry Auto Group to find out how that works!

Then come to the Terry Auto Group and then purchase the right vehicle for your budget and needs. Thank you Terry Auto Group for PUTTING YOUR BOOTS ON THE GROUND!
