Homesless vets left like 'someone bleeding on the battlefield'

... have programs and special shelters for homeless veterans, advocates such as retired colonel Patrick Stogran say

Canada has ignored the problem.

Warriors come back from combat without the proper support, he says.

"It's like leaving someone bleeding ...

YES...WE MUST ''ALL' Help them....now....tooooo booooooooot!!...GOD Bless them....onward....LOV'yha....e h.

This is all too sad, that is why it;s been a dream of mines to one day open a assosted living facility to help take care of these vets. They should be able to eat a hot meal, bathe and live nice. One day this dream will come to pass. Until then let's pray for these vets. And maybe now that we have a new president, someone may care enough to even offer grants to people like me who want to help.

Sometimes this day is referred to as Death and Duty Day.

Canada calls it Remembrance Day, and

in other parts of the world it's referred to as Armistice Day.

On our shores we celebrate it as Veterans Day,

an American holiday remembering those who have died bearing arms in the name of liberty and

in pursuit of freedoms,

doing their duty for God and to Country.

When President Wilson first proclaimed this day to be a legal holiday in this country he called it '

A day dedicated to the cause of world peace ...'

You would think that part of the $700/$850 million bailout money could be used to bailout the homeless veterans. I know several veterans who have nice homes and making good money get up to $300.00 after hurricane Gustav. Of course the VA says they know nothing about this. I know of no homeless vet who got any money!!!!

SIMPLE QUESTION:::Vhy are they not being helped,by the/our governments??....eh.

How sad.

I agree.

I have a solution to all of our veteran "issues" and then some. Disban the CBC (with an annual budget in excess of $1 Billion taxpayer dollars and sitting on over $34 Billion in taxpayer owned infrastructure) and immediately put in trust $100 million dollars of that budget for the puchasing of "veterans housing" outside of Canada's 10 major cities spread throughout the country. Put another $100 million in trust for operating costs as a one time dispersment with an annual budget of $50 million for the next 10 years with annual reviews.

Why would you do that? Veterinarians make a good salary. They don't need handouts. It is war veterans that the people mean. Maybe try looking up the words in a dictionary. English is such a difficult language to learn and understand. All the best to you in your quest for greater understanding and literacy.
