BEDFORD -- John McCarthy hails from a proud military family. He was named after a great-uncle gassed by the Germans in World War I. Both his grandfather and father fought in World War II.

McCarthy himself spent six years in the Navy as a petty officer first class in a fast-attack nuclear submarine.

But recently the 46-year-old found himself homeless, with little to show for his military career.
