Joy Junction Veterans give advice to new veterans

With Expected Upsurge in Homeless Veterans, Joy Junction Vets Give Advice to Their Comrades Returning Home

Jeremy Reynalds, Ph.D. - 2/12/2008

According to a Nov. 7 2007 story in the New York Times, more than 400 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are homeless, and the Veterans Affairs Department and other service groups are expecting a new surge in homeless veterans in the years to come.

Joy Junction, New Mexico's largest emergency homeless shelter, is currently helping 17 vets. While none of them served in the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, they identified with the pain being experienced by their comrades, and had some good advice.
