Improved Essays
What a beautiful day to be alive in the United States of America. When this country was first established, our forefathers had hopes and dreams for our country. They had a vision for what it would be like today. My hopes and dreams for America is to restore this wonderful nation back to the way our fore fathers had dreamed of, and to fix the problems our country has now.
There is a man sitting on the park bench. He is cold has no food, no money, and no home. As he watches the snow fall from the sky, he remembers the first snowfall he ever saw sawin Korea.

Today there are blank blank to blank veterans that come home to nothing, and end up living on the streets. One of my visions for the future in America is that every veteran veteran that comes home will be provided a home tax and payment free, as long as they do not have any other choice. If these valorous men are willing to fight on the battlefield and give their lives for this country, they deserve a place to live when they return to american soil.

It is mournful to see the government to just thank them with no reward and throw them into the streets like that.…

The department is able to provide health and housing benefits that will allow military personnels to live healthy.

    Homeless Veterans With approximately one-fourth of the homeless population belonging to the veteran population (Burt, Aron, Douglas, Valente, Lee & Iwen, 1999), there is a need to determine how this specific group can be helped. By doing so, there is a possibility that homeless individuals from the general population can be helped as well. Cunningham (Aug 2009) emphasizes that working to eliminate homelessness in veterans may be part of the solution to ending homelessness in the United States. Being a large group, veterans take away resources from others which are homeless, who do not have the same support systems in place, through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).…
