Officials with U.S.VETS said 33,000 veterans are currently homeless. They aim to put a stop to the veteran homelessness crisis by providing veterans housing and supportive services, along with counseling and career programs, to help bring America's heroes back to civilian life.
To help bring attention to the cause, FOX asks everyone to wear camo on Veterans Day, which falls on Tues. Nov. 11 this year. Camo-clad supporters can also post pictures of their camo on social media with the hashtag #HONORUSVETS to show their support of veterans.
