Often people claim to be veterans and really aren't. Both of these gentleman attached their vets I.D. to their signs as proof.

May I ask what town they are in? There may be a veteran support group nearby that can reach out to them.

Vegas.
I just got back from spending a week there. However, I'm saying this and just about every city I've been in. That's what's been very troubling to me. As a nation we don't do enough to help the men and women who put their lives on the line for us
Jer, I see something like this often in Miami. If they are impostors that I do not know. Some of them appear to be alcoholics.
I agree with you 100%, if a genuine veteran the government is not doing enough for them. I cannot speak about support groups because I am not familiar with them.
To me it is a shame for this country to see veterans in this condition.
Nice photos, and sad photos. The ID is a good technique. We have a fake who's been begging on the same corner near me for the last two years.

I agree that I thought the idea was good. However, it didn't seem that it made any difference. What are the problems in Vegas isn't there just so many people for the lack of a better term begging for money. Many cities have past ordinances that restrict where homeless people can ask for money. I guess out of sight out of mind. The Vegas area has no such ordinances. That's why you see so many people on the streets. then there's the a show that a large part of our population just doesn't care. They figure it's these people's problem.
In addition to verifying their legitimacy I hope you dropped something in their cups too.
