Veterans
Related: About this forumPlease help with Veteran/Housing information or articles
I need help educating a person who is about to vote for Romney regarding how the Obama administration has helped Veterans, particularly with housing or being able to remain in/retain their homes after returning from active duty. If you have a link to any articles or blogs, please post them here. Thank you in advance.
