After marching through Rochester, we met with local homeless people at the Dorothy Day Center, the only homeless shelter in Rochester. Here we heard some of the most powerful and moving testimony. A Vietnam veteran talked about having to walk ten miles a day in order to find employment.

We collected testimony of another formerly homeless Vietnam veteran who is currently receiving care at the Mayo Clinic for agent orange exposure. He spoke with us about the plight of homeless veterans and veterans without adequate medical care in Minnesota and around the United States.
