We're seeing something I never thought I'd see again in my lifetime: a new generation of homeless veterans. What happens to them once they return home seems not to be anyone's priority, and they're living in their cars, on the streets, and in homeless shelters.

U.S. veterans from the war in Iraq are beginning to show up at homeless shelters around the country, and advocates fear they are the leading edge of a new generation of homeless vets not seen since the Vietnam era.
"When we already have people from Iraq on the streets, my God," said Linda Boone, executive director of the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans. "I have talked to enough (shelters) to know we are getting them. It is happening and this nation is not prepared for that."
