There are over 200,000 homeless veterans in the United States. The film, When I Came Home, is a documentary about one man’s story of coming back from Iraq to no place to call home.
Iraq War veteran Herold Noel suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and lives out of his car in Brooklyn. Using Noel’s story as a fulcrum, this doc examines the wider issue of homeless U.S. military veterans-from Vietnam to Iraq-who have to fight tooth-and-nail to receive the benefits promised to them by their government.
Please, watch the film or host a screening in your community to educate people about the thousands of homeless veterans sleeping under bridges.
Please sign the letter to Bill O’Reilly demanding he apologize to the “non-existent” homeless vets here.
