We as people do not understand their experience and how traumatic it was for most of them. They do so much and we do so little. We the people can pay back our debt with just simple acts. If we raised money and just built them a decent home, we would show how thankful we are. Veterans should feel independent at their homes that fulfil their needs and wishes. Many of them would not like to be placed in home where they feel useless and uncomfortable. Some of them don't even have jobs, so how are they able

    The ending of World War Two ignited a fresh start for the United States, the post war era ushered in changes in American culture, education, and economy. Although the post war era is known as a successful period in American history, the return of soldiers and soaring birth rates brought an intensive demand for affordable housing. In the year of 1945, the federal government implemented several reforms that would change the idea of what it meant to be a homeownership and the idea of what it meant to be an American. “Homeownership as the American dream shifted into an idea that it was the right to be a homeowner.” Housing programs such as the serviceman readjustment act of 1944 (G.I. Bill) and increase funding for the federal housing administration (FHA) ensured veterans, along with blue and white…

By doing so, there is a possibility that homeless individuals from the general population can be helped as well.
