Guess Who's Helping Seattle Homeless Veterans - Syrian Refugees
(Syrian refugees Yazan Al-Salkini, 19, center, and brother Nabil, 14, left, hand out water to the homeless in downtown Seattle.)
"The debate about resettling Syrian refugees has some people asking, “Why don’t we use that money on homeless veterans instead?”
We asked homeless veterans in downtown Seattle what they thought.
In line at The Millionaire Club, veteran Greg Klutcher shared his view: "The whole reason veterans fought for what they did is so that people like that could come here. Everybody needs a helping hand sometimes."
Klutcher has been homeless for six months."
