The New Wave of Homeless

They fight with honor.

But they fight with little ammunition and they fight with no armor.

They come home to inadequate services and a government that has lied to them. They come home wanting out of the service, not trusting. They come home to few resources.

They are the next generation of Homeless Veterans and we are already seeing the beginning of this wave at Operation Dignity.

They are falling through the safety net that was supposed to prevent this from happening. Shame on all of us for allowing this administration to do this to our Veterans. Operation Dignity asks all to join them in writing congress asking that the troops be brought home now.
