Good letter. When you are fresh out of ideas and meaningful, long-term solutions to the homeless vet issue you build a monument to show that you care, but really don't know what to do. I'm sure that many of the people behind this are well intentioned, but I agree with Mr. Hodgin, the money would be better spent providing actual day to day services that help veterans. Maybe not as exciting as a physical monument you can point to every day to show that "we care", but a heck of a lot more practical and meaningful to vets in need.
