Dan, Homeless Navy Veteran

Homeless in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. I met Dan a few weeks ago outside the soup kitchen. We sat and Dan graciously told me his story. He had been on the streets at that time only two weeks. He had been working as an electrician but his company put him on furlough because of the poor economy. I saw Dan in a state of complete disbelief over his situation. He looked shell shocked like a deer caught in the headlights. I’m not sure if being on the street had really sunk in yet. Dan is forty-seven years old and served six years in the Navy as a Submarine Sonar Technician. He served on the U.S.S. Archer and the U.S.S. George Washington. I asked him if he gets any help fro the Veterans Administration and he replied none. As we sat around talking another man told Dan that a local brewery had open jobs. The last I saw Dan was as he headed over to the brewery to look for work.

A country who treats its soldiers, people, like this doesn't deserve to be called a nation.

Hi Gary,

Well - at least he is still looking for work- I mean - in the state of "shell shock" is
very impressive.

I can relate to that!

I hope I hear from you soon!

Kathy

I sent info about YOU to POWER!
Perhaps when things have settled down we can work out a fund raiser for
YOU at MEA'S. Maybe HAZLETON POWER! will assist.

LET ME KNOW WHEN WE CAN ORGANIZE ITWITH OR WITHOUT ANOTHER
ORGANIZATION'S ASSISTANCE - we will have our Mayor there!

YOU NEED TO COMMUNICATE AND GIVE ME THE OKAY TO
schedule it with Vince!

AN ARTWALK display will be lovely on the MEZZANINE!

All my hugs to YOU!
