Standing Up For Homeless Veterans

Knowing that veterans are living on the streets is something VFW Post 10427 in Leander, Texas, couldn’t live with.

“It’s a shame that we are the most powerful country in the world, but we still have homeless veterans,” said James Towers, Texas District 28 junior vice commander. “As a veterans’ organization, we can’t allow this to happen.”

Towers and his fellow Post members learned of a community volunteer, Mike McIntire, who goes in search of homeless veterans. McIntire encounters between 75 and 100 veterans each week. He sets up VA appointments and provides them with food from local shelters.

When a Post member met McIntire at the VA clinic, the Post knew they had to help.
