Today marks the 12th Anniversary (624 consecutive Sundays) of the Veterans Revolution to “Save Our Veterans Land” and to “Bring Our Homeless Veterans HOME.”

In our quest to bring about a responsible resolve to our nation’s capital for homeless Veterans with the entrusted VA bureaucrats and politicians, the only thing they’ve done is to continue to fail our disabled and homeless Veterans as the homeless Veteran population increases outside the VA, and so does the crime, corruption and land fraud-fraud inside the VA.

While our Sunday gathering is a peaceful and non-violent protest against the Los Angeles VA’s illegal use of Veterans land and the inhumane treatment of war-injured homeless Veterans, it’s public and common knowledge that the most corrupt VA in the nation has been anything but civil, honest, peaceful and non-violent.

Instead of the VA reaching out to us and working together with responsible solutions, we’ve been harassed and intimidated, insulted and assaulted, lied to and lied about, retaliated and discriminated against, falsely accused and criminally threatened, stalked and spied upon, including falsely arrested more than 30 times by out-of-control VA police and bureaucrats that do not have the best interests and well-being of Veterans in mind.

Our 624 consecutive Sundays of protest make a rock-solid statement that we are extremely serious about our Mission and will continue to be the voice of thousands-upon-thousands of voiceless disabled and destitute homeless Veterans here in Los Angeles.

• Aldo Dipre, 98-year old World War II Veteran of the U.S. Navy
• Web Thompson, 96-year old World War II Veteran of the U.S. Navy
• Bill Earn, 95-year old World War II Veteran of the U.S. Merchant Marines
• Steve Palmer, 88-year old World War II Veteran of the U.S. Navy
• Dan Overmyer, 87-year old World War II Veteran of the U.S. Army
• Dick Breithaupt, 85-year old Korean War Veteran of the U.S. Army
• Newt Young, 84-year old Korean War Veteran of the U.S. Marines

We honor each of them and all Veterans with the attached “Emergency Homeless Veteran Humanitarian Relief Crusade (PDF)” that was conceived more than a decade ago and updated through 2020.

Now, we seek the loyal support of “We the People of Los Angeles” to demand that the VA honor the January 28, 2015 “settlement agreement” with the #1 promise to “end Veteran homelessness in Los Angeles by the end of 2015, and beyond.

It’s well beyond the end of 2015 and Los Angeles is still our nation’s capital for homeless Veterans with a large encampment directly outside the Los Angeles VA.

As a humanitarian gesture, we’ve repeatedly and respectfully requested that this encampment be moved safely to the either side of the fence “inside” the VA and have been disrespectfully denied.

As a humanitarian gesture, we’ve repeatedly and respectfully requested that these homeless Veterans be provided public latrines to properly relieve themselves and have been disrespectfully denied.

The City of Los Angeles has spent $5 million and taken a year-and-a-half to build a feckless industrial tent with a couple of mobile trailers to house 100 homeless Veterans, while an estimated 4,000 homeless Veterans will continue to live homeless and hungry in back-alley squalor and skid row.

For $50,000, we could immediately install a multitude of individual tents for our homeless Veterans.

Please see attachment outlining a “Sanctuary Tent Village” of individual tents and a “Veterans Colony” of small pre-fab modular houses that could be built and constructed by fellow Veterans.

This is a “Call to Action”  to We the People of Los Angeles …. Please stand up and speak out by demanding that our “public servants” who are entrusted to properly shelter and care for our disabled homeless Veterans immediately do their jobs and honor the 2015 promise or resign, posthaste.

“Save Our Veterans Land” and “Bring Our Homeless Veterans HOME”

God Bless America and the Veterans Revolution!
