Tailgating is as American as apple pie and just as predictable. How many ways can you grill up burgers and hot dogs? What else can you stick in the old wash pot? Fear not.

WASHINGTON - A third of liomeless men seeking shelter are veterans, mostly combat veterans from the Korean, Vietnam or the Persian Gulf Conflicts, according to a yeterans Day survey released paturday, • “War is something that preaks people,” said Phil Jlydman, spokesman for the international Union of Gospel Klissions, a network of rescue hiissions that conducted the feurvey. , “Some people are not able to |[et back into civilian life because of what they have experienced in the conflict set ting.” Rydman said that what used to be called “shell shock” and is now referred to as post-trau matic stress syndrome sets in at different times, accounting for the continuing flow of Vietnam veterans into missions 20 years after the war. The survey of 11,000 men seeking shelter in 58 missions in late October showed 32 per cent were veterans. By compar ison, Veterans Administration figures show about 19 percent of the male population are for mer members of the armed forces. In the missions’ survey for Veterans Day 1996, the per centage of veterans among the homeless was slightly higher, 34 percent. Of the homeless veterans sur veyed this year, 42 percent were Vietnam veterans. Vietnam vets represent only about 10 percent of the overall veteran population, according to figures from Vietnam Veterans of America and the VA. Stephen Burger, executive director of the missions, said Vietnam veterans continue to fall through the cracks, often after multiple divorces and struggles with alcohol and drug addiction. “We’re still getting new Vietnam veterans. They’re still falling out of the system,” Burger said. “That should be a little shocking to us.” “They didn’t come back and become homeless. They came back and became part of the community, and then things happened that made them become homeless,” he said. “Many of these people are struggling with identity. They are struggling with guilt.” Im^e A Room Full OfPeopleWhoWantYouTo BuyY>ur Own Home.
