HOMELESSNESS...Veterans

* Over 10% of all homeless adults are veterans

* Almost 50,000 vets are homeless at any given time in the US, the country they fought to protect

* 1.4 million vets are 'at risk' of being homeless

* Post traumatic stress disorder (PSTD) is the most prevalent cause of homelessness in veterans * There are 22 veteran suicides per day, or one every 65 minutes

* Almost 1/3 of all vets applying for health care thru VA Hospitals die before ever being seen.

* Military training and occupations are often not transferrable to the civilian workforce

* Almost half a million vets are unemployed, and 57% of vets report being underemployed.

Of all the battles in all the wars we have fought in, the enemy in the Middle East is the most disturbing. Fighting an enemy that actually 'wants' to die in the act of killing you, is an enemy you can't defend yourself against, as 'their own' death is their reward. Add to that the task of having to annihilate woman and children who also embrace this ideology, and you have the makings of the worst PSTD epidemic in military history.

Veteran suicide and homelessness are the result of this epidemic.

The next time you see a homeless vet on the street, remember...Freedom isn't Free
