By Stan Levin/ San Diego Veterans for Peace
The San Diego Chapter Veterans for Peace (SDVFP) has for the past several years been actively engaged in our signature charity the "Compassion Campaign."
Some members had gotten together in 2010, before I became a member, and discussed the problem of homelessness in San Diego and what we might be able to do to help veterans who because of a variety of circumstances find themselves living on the street.
Out of this initial meeting and conversation was born our aggressive ongoing activity to try to improve the lives of those unfortunate people in some significant way. One member of SDVFP who had been homeless himself was asked what people on the street needed most. "Sleeping bags" was his response.
