Just because he's homeless doesn't make him any less patriotic.
I'd rather have him, than..................

lol double post

BAN

and i agree with you shadow... alot of people though beleive because homeless people dont pay taxes, or have jobs, or such that they dont have a place in the world which is wrong... but some would associate that to their love for their country which is not true...

Fixed it - ooops
True, just look at how many vets were emotionally damaged - ended up homeless - but some of the most patriotic men, I've ever met. (and some of the finest)
