The Unknown Soldier Could be Homeless
This comic is definitely food for thought. This is so sadly true. A very large percentage of homeless across our country are in fact Veterans that we owe a great deal to. We owe more than a life on the street wondering if they'll survive a cold night or extreme summer temperatures and dehydration. And while some headway is being made thanks to our First Lady Michele Obama's Major's programs,
to house the homeless Veterans, much work is still needed.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?
I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.
Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.
