“Robert” Homeless Iraq Veteran
A few weeks ago I met Robert, a homeless Iraq Veteran who had returned home from Iraq on February 1st 2005. He is staying in a homeless shelter. Robert did two tours of duty, first in the Gulf and then in Iraq. He was in the Army and the Pennsylvania National Guard. Robert turned forty-one while he was on duty in Iraq. He presently gets no help from the Veterans Administration. Robert was married in 2004 just before he left for Iraq but the marriage ended because of problems. He has a brother who is a Vietnam Veteran.

Hej, Goddag! how are you dear?
I read each update and the biographies are really interesting. I can observe that you upload images with a content very important and the showy thing is about how those persons can live in the street.
Always those persons that gave their lives in a war are they who finished worse. Is something that is not understood, because when giving the life in a war, they are exposed by a whole country.
I like much your fotolog, i add you as favourite.
Wishing you a good day. Hej då!

This remembers me when roman soldiers came back from war, their farms were stolen by others, leaving them on streets. And that was their nations payment.

All the world have bad interpretations about " Father our", because the "father our" in the history of the bible it's an example of how people had to say. " Those words was only a example".
This post for that previous post.
