Homeless Vets
On February 8, 2005 the Homeless Voice founded an independent agency which would advocate to the public and to members of both the U. S. Congress and Senate to make sure our soldiers of the Iraq War were taken care of this time; and to do better than we have done in the past. As we all know, there are many homeless Vets still living on the streets from the Vietnam War. We lobbied many elected officials and we are sad to say that many of them never responded, not even to say “Thank you for your letter”.
Since then, “The American Veterans Of The Iraq War” has continued to lobby in hopes that the USA will have better re-entry programs for Vets coming home, whether disabled or not.
Sean Cononie the founder said, “This time around we’ve got to do better.” He added, “With all these homeless beatings in the country, the people must realize that some of these individuals who live on the streets and are hunted and killed by teens, are Vets. He is correct.
The month of September 2008 the whole nation is watching a trial right here in our own Fort Lauderdale community, the trial of one of the most famous murders in the country. The victim was Mr. Norris Gaynor who was a U.S. Vet, and a good man, who chose to live on the streets.
