less fellow homeless vets because of suicide!? 😢

Happy Black History Month!
Communist
wow, good job america!
Don't worry, all these former servicemen and women have a "moral failing" and that's why they are homeless. 🙄
Long overdue! Well deserved

That would be awesome if people can get a home, so they not living on the outside.
Please do this asap! The veterans deserve this!
It's shameful in a country that claims to be GREAT, that is considered the richest, that has the richest people in the world, we still have homeless, not just vets but PEOPLE; vets, young, elderly, kids. It's about time for sweeping changes.
5% is up and running, everything else is on hold waiting for fundings. Not that impressive.
Not only do the veterans need this but it's incentive for us young people, we see they are trying to help veterans and it let's me know if I go to serve I should hopefully have a lot better time once I get out of the service. It's gonna make people wanna join the military more knowing there giving better care.
It's shameful to allow veterans to be homeless, America has plenty of money not spent properly.
Finally! We need to take care of our veterans and soldiers for the sacrifice they made for my freedom & yours! God Bless You

If you divide $1B by 1200, you will get $833K for each person. You can buy a home for $150-300K. Maybe it's just better to buy everyone a home that's already been built?
ITS ABOUT TIME VETERANS GET WHAT WE OWE THEM
Those who fight for corporate greed get a home, but regular citizens get to sleep under a freeway or in a dingy alleyway. This is wrong.
Why is CNN, NBC,CBS,& MSNBC not talking about the Durham Report??
Better late than never
Answer is simple stop investing heavily on defense and begin investing on more useful stuff like health care, education, and our veterans, to prevent more and more people from being homeless.
America loves the troops, until they’re veterans.
AmeriKKKa is a disgusting scam. Stop the earth And humanity destroying war machine. You're all sick drunk on supremacy to loot for wall st
"Republicans rejected Senator Duckworth’s request to pass her bipartisan legislation that would prohibit Veterans from being charged copayments for essential drugs and potentially life-saving preventive health medication."

The Second Appeal of the citizens of Russia to the citizens of the United States of America!
Dear Citizens of the United States of America. We, the citizens of Great Russia, are appealing to you with our request to stop your politicians from destroying our common world. It is not we who have come to you, it is you who have come to our home from the land which is many thousands of miles away. We, the People of Russia, want the armed forces of the United States of America and the NATO military forces to leave the territory of the former USSR in order to prevent the mutual destruction of our world. We are not interested in a nuclear war, but we will use any means necessary to defend and liberate our homeland USSR and the countries of the former Warsaw Pact, as we have done many times in our history!
Please leave soon, or things will be different. We hate an idea to strike the Nevada nuclear test site with the intercontinental nuclear missile to convince you even more how serious are our intentions! Don’t make us to do it! Please be reasonable, do not make your situation worse than it is.
Please do it in the name of peace on Earth!
The citizens of Russia.
Maybe we could get our billionaires to fund these projects on earth instead of going to space and buying gigantic obscene ships..
What's taking so damn long.
They need psychological help! Home is great but doesn't fix broken mind and soul!
My late husband was a Vietnam Vet. He was homeless for a while before I met him. He drove big rigs for a living, and then he got colon cancer. It permanently messed up his bowels. He had days where he lived in the bathroom. He became homeless because he could no longer work. Agencies in the area got him an apartment.
