Retired MSG James Finney gave 20 years honorable service to this country.
There is no doubt that there are issues at play that gave cause to retired MSG Finney finding himself living on the street and sleeping on a bus stop bench.
Retired MSG James Finney is neither an alcoholic or drug addict. Retired MSG James Finney has lived in Waikiki most of his time in Hawaii, and that period goes back some 25 years. Why is it that housing, with a little help and understanding, can not be found for retired MSG Finney in the community he feels a part of? Why is the only option to bunk down in a programme loaded with ex-servicemen who are unable to deal with life without drugs or alcohol. OR, to sleep in a homeless shelter totally unsuited to his needs.
Having come to know retired MSG James Finney, I know that he is not looking for a free ride, just a little help in getting into an affordable housing situation that he can cope with due to his medical proplems.
A LITTLE HELP AND UNDERSTANDING. Not $30,000.00.
I have no doubt that IHS and USVETS do some good in helping the homeless. The homeless that who get all of the attention.
Retired MSG James Finney gave much to this country. We, each and everyone of us, owe him help and support, in his hour of need.
Call me stupid but if we can not help a valued retired MSG, who can we help.
Retired MSG James Finney reminds me that he is not 'homeless', just housless. This is due to his belief that 'home' is where the 'heart' is. Retired MSG James Finney has a great heart, witnessed by his 20 years of honorable service to this country.
