Good Questions

"Americans who sit idly by and make no attempt to address and alleviate problems of poverty in our nation openly display their lack of patriotism. They also reveal an absence of  historical and moral understanding, and of personal maturity, self-respect and dignity.

"Do Americans who ignore the plight of homeless veterans really support the troops?  Can we march in parades, waving flags and pretending to be patriotic, while we continue to ignore our growing homeless population--even when we know that the causes of homelessness can strike almost anyone at any time, no matter their strength of character?

"What kind of nation is it that can claim to be the greatest nation on earth and a beacon for freedom and democracy, while millions of her own citizens live in open squalor?  Why are there homeless veterans in America? Why are there homeless seniors and children in America? Why is anyone homeless in America?  You decide."**

A friend of mine is taking initiative and plans to work with the vets.

I thank him. We should all thank those whom take the right initiative.  We might help support this organization while we're at it.

And this one.
