It is disturbing to see how many elderly veterans are homeless.
They served their Nation, did their duty, look forward to living in a shelter if you can find a bed!!
Homeless vets will be able to camp out in Clifford Park in sleeping bags provided for them.
They can obtain Medical Sercices, ride the MBTA for free and get assistance with drivers liciences, Housing and taxes.
Their will be a Job Fair.
