The Visitor

Go see it.

The story is moving. The cast exceptional.

Our Forgotten Veterans

on Memorial Day, Joel John Roberts over at LA's Homeless Blog reminds us of the forgotten veterans dying slowly on our streets each day.


"During this day of memorializing the war dead, I also think of those veterans who struggle on our streets, battling emotional ghosts that have haunted them since they left the battlefields.

. . .

"But let’s not honor them with speeches and honor guards. Let’s honor homeless veterans with real homes and a caring community of support."
