For the usual spelling,punctuation faux pas... thanks as always!

It is March,2011.Tonight,over 138,000 veterans will go to sleep homeless. Thanks to the veteran support of our newly-elected House of Representatives, eleven thousand homeless veterans will lose the glimmer of hope given to them by a "Grateful Nation".

In September 2009, a new cooperative program known as HUD’s Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program (HUD-VASH) was initiated. This program combines HUD Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance for homeless veterans with case management and clinical services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

This successful program has removed 75,000 previously -homeless veterans from the streets. This successful program is one of the items on the chopping block to ease our ever-growing debt caused by a decade at war. This is a prime example of how we support our veterans who have suffered the most.

I invite every Daily Light reader to explore their representative's vote on veteran affairs. I think that by now it should be clear who supports veterans after they have served their nation well.

If you are a veteran or veteran family who is looking at possible homelessness,please contact The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans as soon as possible.

The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans is the go-to group to offer advice and assistance.You can research them online at any public library.

1. A great letter. Very informative. I learned a lot and plan to use it

in my arguments against the righties...esp. if they are veterans themselves...

2. You need to put spaces after your commas and periods in general,

but that is a mighty fine letter.
