Stand Downs for Homeless Veterans

That we have even ONE Veteran in our countries that is homeless is a disgrace.

Here's a release from the National Resource Directory, a rundown of some stand downs around the US for what's left of 2011:

Stand Downs Connect Homeless Veterans with Valuable Services. For some homeless Veterans, a Stand Down means a hot meal and a haircut.

For others, it’s a day that turns their life around. In times of war, a Stand Down means a break from the battles. For some Veterans who fought those battles and came home to fight other conflicts in their private lives, struggles that left them lost and homeless, a Stand Down can be a chance to embark on the road back to their lives. There is a Stand Down almost every week somewhere in America.
