Veterans in serious trouble

[mburbank]

Well, I made a lot of noise and they found him. It was a best case scenario, in that lost turned out not to be 'out on the street' lost so much as administratively lost, ie he had ceased to appear in the paperwork. It still means my noise was effective in that while he had a roof over his head, he was not recieving medical or psychiatric services or meidcation and no one seemed to know. While he was at a VA shelter all of the clothes he was not actively wearing were stolen, and he's back in Psychiatric again, but at least I know he's alive and for the moment safe.

I know veterans vcare has always been lousy, and that this is nothing new. But all the VA employees who I've worked with, to a person, say they have never seen things this bad.
