6. welcome home brother
and thanks for this powerful video. We are working to build a Veterans outreach center here in Central Oregon. We recently rented a house and are housing 6 disabled and disadvantaged Vets. We stopped using the word homeless cause of the NIMBY problem. Wish the NIMBY's could see this. I'm upset by the number of disabled vets who aren't being cared for. Our service officer works full time at getting benefits for Vets here. I've learned enough from his work to know that many of those guys could be getting some kind of disability or help. -I know that you are the story teller not the helper. Wish everyone could see this.
Hope the hunk of stuff left over wasn't too big...and that you do fine.

Send me a email I will get you to my contact on the Veterans Committe. We with two vets Dirk Enger and Bob Adams opened a 24 Bed Veterans Homeless Shelter the Midwest Homeleess Veterans Shelter. Obama and Lane Evans step up to help both on the Veterans Committee. I have many contacts that can help you. Send me a PM. Here is a link to what we did here
