If you don't believe these stories, then have a look at what the VA has on their own web site:

http://www1.va.gov/homeless/page.cfm?pg=1

If you want to help, contact these Homeless Veteran Program Coordinators, and "Stand Down" locations to help these folks out:

This is hte Homeless Vets Homepage from the VA:

If you run into someone who's homeless... Chances are that this person is a vet!!! Please help them so they can one day, help themselves!!!
It's the least we can do for these men and women who protected us here at home!!!

Respectfully,
Henry
