A home for Homeless Veterans in America's Heartland!!!
The only State in the United States that does not have a Domiciliary (home for homless Veterans) is Nebraska (America's Hearland). This is just plain wrong!!! Please sign a petition to locate a HOME for HOMELESS VETERANS in Nebraska. There are 4 empty buildings on the Campus of the Lincoln VA Medical Center that could be used for Homeless Veterans. All they need is a staff. The staff could be made up of volunteers!!! They protected you!!! Couldn't we at least give them a warm place to stay and help them recover from drugs and alcohol in an environment where drugs and alcohol are not allowed?!?

We the undersigned recognize that Nebraska is the only state in the Union that does not have a VA run and organized Domiciliary (a place where Veterans who want to get clean and sober can go to recover and become productive members of society again). Many agencies in Nebraska have applied for a government contract to meet this need for Veterans, but the private sector can not meet the standards required by the VA to house Veterans. Therefore, we urge you to take action to urge the VA to build it's own facility in Nebraska or...adapt an un-used existing building to meet this need. Thank you for your time and consideration. These Veterans took up arms and lost legs and limbs for us. They watched some of their brothers and sisters lose their lives for us. We think it a small price to pay to nurse these men and women that defended us back to health.
