Muskogee, Oklahoma, became a brighter, cheerier place with the arrival of

Program helps formerly homeless
Army Vet land a job at VA serving his fellow Veterans
After
almost a year, Michael Brumfield’s hard work is starting to bear fruit – as
a full time cook at Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System. After he got out of the Army, Brumfield
came back home to New Orleans, but fell on hard times and eventually became
homeless. Having nowhere else to go, he walked into VA’s Community Resource
and Referral Center and asked for help.
