Homeless Veterans Get Medical Care And Supplies At "Stand Down Event"

DENVER, CO - NOVEMBER 03: Homeless U.S. Army veteran and unemployed carpenter Steven Wise (R), receives a dental checkup at a "Stand Down" event hosted by the Department of Veterans Affairs on November 3, 2011 in Denver, Colorado. A week ahead of Veterans Day, more than 500 homeless veterans were expected to attend the event, where they received free clothing, medical care, employment assistance and were able to see a judge to resolve legal issues, among other services. Organizers say the homeless veterans population has surged in recent years with the high national unemployment rate. Stand Down is a military term that means a temporary stop of offensive military action. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
