James, age 59, is a Vietnam veteran who served from 1968-1971 in the United States Marine Corps. The Peoria, Ill. native has lived in Chicago since 1981. He has an apartment to live in through public housing services, yet he is out on the street most days asking for money to "survive." He's been out on the street asking for help for the past three years. I talked with James on Veterans Day 2008 on the Washington St. drawbridge over the Chicago River.
Listen to James' story.
