The article also states that between 567,000 and 600,000 individuals are homeless and on any given day 200,000 of them are veterans.
When I talk about cultural diversity I not only mean the obvious groups such as African-American, Native-American, Hispanic and so on, I believe that Veterans are a part of there own culture. The men who went to Vietnam seem to have somewhat of a connection; because of what th ...
