[QUOTE]Army veteran Tony Jones has been homeless for nearly a decade, living in a tent in a small patch of wilderness in Southeast Washington, DC.
“If it wasn’t for basic training, I wouldn’t even be able to do this stuff here, because that’s how I learned how to do the trenching around the tent,” Jones told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl.
Unfortunately, Jones’s situation is not unique. Veteran homelessness is a problem the President and First Lady hoped to end in 2015.
“The good news is we’ve helped get thousands of homeless veterans off the streets,” President Obama said to an audience of military veterans in August 2014. “We should have zero tolerance for that.”[/QUOTE]

At least they got their freedom.
[QUOTE=usaokay;49436133]Freedom isn't free. It costs folks like you and me. And if we don't all chip in, we'll never pay that bill.[/QUOTE]
Yes. There cannot be freedom without heaps of homeless servicemen.
What is freedom anyways?
[sp]That is rhetorical question[/sp]
