A Vietnam veteran from Santa Rosa has made it his mission to make sure unhoused veterans are not forgotten.
Joe Cholewa has put boots on the ground in a mission of love. He leads a coalition called Sonoma County Veterans Outreach'I always think if it's not fun anymore, why am I doing it?' he asked.Cholewa's group opens a door of hope for the homeless, especially military veterans. The volunteer coalition includes the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 78, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Chapter 3237, and Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 223.
But the 77-year-old feels he's got a good life, and he finds healing by helping those hurting from the wounds of war.'Post-traumatic stress - the best therapy I've ever had - going out and trying to help people,' he said. 'Better than anything - counseling, individuals. Just gives a good feeling.
