WanderingVet sets up site to help locate homeless or missing vets

In Search Of Missing and Homeless Veterans
April 14, 2008 · 2 Comments

I have been thinking for months regarding this subject. I have read an account in Georgia where a mother has been cruising the highways looking for her son who is a veteran and has been missing for months. The other day I received this comment to a post I wrote on Operation Stand Down in Huntsville, Alabama…

I was the Plt Sgt of Alabamian, Solomon Smith, in Vietnam. Searching for him for several yrs. Mr Smith is an African American, and would be in his late 50s or early 60s. Don’t know if he is homeless but if you have record of him being so, I will be able to help him. Solomon has a Plt of 40 “Brothers” who are waiting to see him again and he will have all the support he needs. Please let me know if you have any info on a Solomon Smith.
Thank you. John J Weiss, US Army Retired

This comment has made me finally get around to something I have been wanting or meaning to do for a long, long time. I have now created a page on this site where Agencies (State, Federal, Nonprofits and Charities), Families, and Friends can post and look for those friends and loved ones that are homeless and or missing.
The new page is
http://wanderingvets.com/homeless-missing-veteran-search-page/
Hopefully this new page will assist in reuniting loved ones, as well as aiding Homeless Veterans in ending their tours of homelessness by reuniting agencies to their clients, families to loved ones, as well as the vets who have thought they have just been “written off”. Thank you John J. Weiss for your compassion.
