Hi every one for the last two years I have been
volunteering at US vets Stand downs for homeless vets. The first year my duties
were signing in the volunteers in to help at the stand down. Which has gave me
an opportunity to meet a lot of great and kindhearted people that help our
homeless vets. At these stand downs
there is help. U.S.VETS anticipates the 2013
Stand Down to be the biggest of its kind. Studies show that the number of
veteran families living on the streets, or at-risk of homelessness is
increasing. The numbers of young veterans who have recently separated from the
military who are in need of services are also increasing at alarming rates.
This year I was asked to help register the veterans for services that they
might need. I talked to over 100 vets it was a real eye opener for me helping
these veterans out. There was a lot Vietnam Veterans I all so helped younger
veterans for today’s conflicts I was overwhelmed with the number younger vets.
Summing up I think that more veterans should volunteer
at least one time It would do your heart
good .
