Camp Algonquin Stand Down For Homeless Vets

St. Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia Speaks to Veterans at Camp Algonquin Stand Down

This may be the last time the Veterans Stand Down sponsored by Crystal Lake's NASA Education may occur at Camp Algonquin.

It's not because yesterday's event, the fourth at Camp Algonquin, was a failure.

Just the opposite.

The over 200 veterans, many homeless, filled the camp on the Fox River.

Some people will read this and think how sad it is, while others will read it and think how wonderful it is that so many people do really care about our homeless veterans. Both would be right. It's sad that in this nation any veteran would be homeless. It is wrong! The goodness of some people offer hope that one day, if enough people care, no one will ever serve this country again and end up homeless.
