After setting up several tents and cots for homeless

After setting up several tents and cots for homeless veterans to have a safe place to spend the weekend, Marines and Sailors with I Marine Expeditionary Force interacted with homeless and volunteer veterans alike during the 2015 Orange County Veteran’s Day Stand Down, Oct. 23 to 25 in Tustin, Calif. The mission of the Orange County Stand Down is to help military veterans with a continuum of opportunities, most of them basic social services including medical, dental and vision exams and care; mental health and substance abuse counseling; employment and housing assistance; legal assistance; children’s services and daycare; chiropractor appointments and massages; and veteran’s and social security benefits identification and assistance.
