Homeless Veterans
Homelessness is a condition with many root causes. It is a growing national problem that affects all of us. It’s gratifying that we have learned to salute our military as they defend us and our country rather than revile them as we did during the Viet Nam conflict. This might be an example of the expression, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
The following article appeared in the March/April Disabled American Veterans Magazine about the numbers of homeless who served in the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. It is notable that the largest number of homeless vets are located in California. After we cheer our military in uniform and thank them for their service, how many of us will remember them when they return to civilian life?
