Homeless Veterans

Stories of homeless vets have been getting in the news in the last few days. Some are from the vietnam days and some are the newly homeless vets from the Iraq war. Truely a sad thing. After his wife made loud noises to the public and his story was put in the media, Robert Loria's case was reviewed by th military and some of his "debt" to the military was forgiven. This will allow him to return home for the holiday. He lost his left hand in Iraq and the brass had news for him that he owed them money and did not have enough to afford gas to drive his car home... The story of the new york state vet is here
