Volunteers Changing Other Veterans' Lives

I've spoken with some amazing individuals who devote their lives to helping homeless veterans, including San Diego's Alpha Project.  A story from West Virginia's Herald-Dispatch.com on the state's Volunteers of America (VOA) demonstrates what a huge difference veterans can make on their fellow servicemembers' lives.  No one veteran's services organization can do it all alone.  More people thankfully are willing to help every day, and we always must realize that each of these groups plays a crucial, specific role.  Groups like VOA and Alpha Project give homeless veterans the means to take back their lives, including one day walking through the door at a hiring event and setting themselves up for success. If you don't believe it can happen, check out The Pursuit of Happyness - it's not just a movie.  VOA needs volunteers, and hopefully will inspire the rest of the nation to find more as well!
