98.The Human Factor Of Killing A Homeless Veteran

Dear Friends:

This excerpt came from the Iowa City, Iowa GazetteOnline. It is a quote from a local meeting on homelessness there, spurred on partially by the death of Sonny Anthony Iovino, a Homeless Vietnam Veteran that was killed by his community services. 

Crissy Canganelli, executive director for Shelter House said: “Unless we do something to address the need for universal health care coverage, we’re just going to be sticking Band-Aids on the hole,” she said to a group of about 40 in the Iowa City Public Library, 123 S. Linn St., that included homeless people living in Iowa City.  Oh Horse Crap!

71.Homeless Veteran Survival Packs and Gear Lists Updated

As I have traveled and experienced nature and city travel, I have made a cross list of what I found works best.

Personally for safety and security I found the smaller cities more productive for work as a homeless veteran or even as a homeless individual. Homelessness is not as prevalent in smaller cities and towns. People tended toward more compassion, and were more willing to give a homeless veteran a fair shake mostly as well as some kind of work and a fair hand up. The following list here helps to make your life a bit more compact, easier to manage, and to stay more presentable.
