Last year I wrote a Veterans Day salute which you can read by Clicking Here Now.
I have recently read newspaper reports, and watched news programs that report 1 out of every 4 Veterans of the United States armed forces are homeless. If this is in fact true it is utterly appalling to me that 25% of those who have served are living on the streets without a place to call home.
I would consider this to be an emergency situation. Those who have served this nation deserve a hell of a lot better than being discharged into homelessness. I am hereby making a call to the citizens of the United States of America to right this injustice. If we can spend billions of dollars to re-build Iraq, we surely can spend billions of dollars on those brave men and women who have served this nation in the armed forces.
All citizens of the United States of America owe their very freedom to those proud and brave veterans who have served. Now it is time to repay the debt.
Let’s get our veterans off of the street!
