A little give and take: Veteran Stand Down calls for donations

If you spend enough time people-watching in Linn County, it’s not so hard to see there are a lot of veterans living in the area.
They wear hats and coats that proudly display their military branch of service, and they gather together in local coffee shops to build friendships.
Perhaps others aren’t as easily identifiable. They might be busy trying to survive on the streets or struggling to pay bills and care for their families.
