Student Alliance for Veterans and Soldiers

From site: Wellstone House of Organization and Activism

400,000-500,000 veterans are homeless each year. 1.7 million veterans are uninsured. A Defense Department study found that more extensive body armor could have saved the lives of 80% of Marines killed by upper body wounds between 2003 and 2005. The Department of Veterans Affairs believes one third of Iraq War veterans will suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. No matter what your feelings on war, our veterans and soldiers need your help. Join the Student Alliance for Veterans and Soldiers at our first meeting Thursday, November 1st, 7:30 PM, Sayles-Hill Lounge.
