Vietnam veteran Sandy Walker felt ashamed for his community that it was allowed to happen, so he decided to establish a shelter for veterans in his hometown. He set to work on the project, but he died last March. His daughter, Sandie, picked up his banner and they finally completed the project. Yesterday, they had a grand opening according to <a href=\"http:\/\/abc27.com\/2015\/10\/29\/woman-in-york-keeps-late-fathers-dream-alive-to-help-homeless-veterans\/\">ABC27<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The shelter has enough space to take in 22 people.<\/p>\n<p>The facility will provide food, clothing and a place to sleep, along with services that include, mental health counseling, bus fare, prescription medicine and dental assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Walker says they will also help veterans who need outside assistance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of veterans are not aware of the services that are out there,\u201d said Walker, \u201cWe offer immediate assistance, and we connect them to the VA in York County or the medical center in York County.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen src=\"http:\/\/up.anv.bz\/latest\/anvload.html?key=eyJtIjoiTElOIiwicCI6ImRlZmF1bHQiLCJ2IjoiNzA0MjYwIiwicGx1Z2lucyI6eyJkZnAiOnsiY2xpZW50U2lkZSI6eyJhZFRhZ1VybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly9wdWJhZHMuZy5kb3VibGVjbGljay5uZXQvZ2FtcGFkL2Fkcz9zej0xeDEwMDAmaXU9LzU2NzgvbWcuV0hUTS9uZXdzL2xvY2FsL3dvbWFuLWluLXlvcmsta2VlcHMtbGF0ZS1mYXRoZXJzLWRyZWFtLWFsaXZlLXRvLWhlbHAtaG9tZWxlc3MtdmV0ZXJhbnMvZGV0YWlsJmNpdV9zenM9MzAweDI1MCZnZGZwX3JlcT0xJmVudj12cCZvdXRwdXQ9eG1sX3Zhc3QyJmFkX3J1bGU9MSJ9fSwiYW5hbHl0aWNzIjp7InBkYiI6IjU2MjQwODAwIn0sIm9tbml0dXJlIjp7InByb2ZpbGUiOiJMSU4iLCJhY2NvdW50IjoibGludHZ3aHRtLGRwc2dsb2JhbCIsInRyYWNraW5nU2VydmVyIjoibGludHYuMTIyLjJvNy5uZXQifX19\"  width =\"500\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The link was sent to us by John Ott, whose son, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=43175\">Matthew<\/a>, you might remember, was the victim of valor thief Nate Fornwalt.
