The Journal News: Program to help homeless veterans - - The Journal News

When I'd take Dylan across town to karate, there was always an old, tattered vet standing at one of the two exits I would take, so we got into the habit, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, of stopping at McDonalds for a value meal and a cup of coffee for whomever was standing out there that day. I felt so sorry for them, and they always seemed grateful for the food and warm drink. The Martinsburg VA is a wonderful place to get help, as my father worked there before retiring for good, and the rehab center is nothing short of exemplary.
