The reason I say they come from money is his attire. I think he can't bring himself to look homeless no matter what and as long as he still gets his fix funds by begging clean shaven, he won't have to. Alot of Heroine addicts don't look like addicts and have homes and work. He may just not want to work.

@chasinghosts:

Um...I think you're talking about totally different people.

The couple I keep seein at LHP and HEB lot are the same couple that I see at Atascocita Kroger at Will Clayton. They are moving around all over the area begging in the middle of the streets in parking lots etc. I haven't seen the kids over by LHP either but I've seen them with them at Will Clayton. I also saw them on the corner at LHP the other day at p.m. rush hour and there were two black teens a few yards away with signs about their Mom having breast Cancer.

Are you talking about the guy that is at Will Clayton and Atascocita Road a lot? He is always clean shaven, wears khakis and a white tshirt. I have also seen him at 1960 and WLHP. Can't figure him out--he does not look like he would be begging on the street corner. But I think this is a totally different person then the two that hang out at the library and the McDonalds.

@brightlights:

If they aren't clean cut and nice looking, we may have two couples, but they are working the same corner at LHP

@Happyasalark:

Yes, I am and there must be more than one couple then. But again, could have the same habits. Like I said you don't need fans, a microwave and TV stuff if you're homeless.

Also to everyone, be very careful of the guy who is selling DVD's over by the orange taco truck (great tacos by the way) as the police have rounded him up a few times when I was there for lunch.

No but im sure he is still waiting for his pension he earned and medical assistance that he probably earned if he is/was a veteran.

Anyone seen the man just right before you make that left onto 1960 coming out of Walden that is holding the cardboard sign saying he's a veteran?

@nikkiole:

If it is the same guy I have seen, this man is NOT a veteran. My husband served in the Marines and when he asked this many who he was with he could not name the battalion he was with or state his MOs. He was completely clueless as to what my husband was asking. If he truly was a vet, he would know.He just kept saying he was a tail gunner in Vietnam in the Marine Corps. I don't even think marines have or had tail gunners.

Anyways my husband obviously didn't give him any money and warned him that the Stolen Valor Act is a real thing with real consequences. If any of you see this man, please don't give him any money.

I admit I think I started this crap on the good deeds of Atascocita day. My heart was in the right place I admit I donated several needed items. I also admit I encouraged others to join in.

At this time, I see! In life I appear to always cheer for the under dog and this one bite me.

My apologies to all who got involved or attempted too.

Sincerely!

@lynnsgirl:

You do not need to apologize for trying to help people in need. No one is going to bite you for that. You still good in my book.

@DirtybirdT:

I checked out about tailgunners in Marines in Nam. In the conversation on the following page:
www.militaryphotos.n et/forums/archive/in dex.php/t-16280.html

"Tail gunners on Sea Knights are not unprecedented. The Marine Corps implemented a similar tactic during the Vietnam War, attaching M60 machine guns. "

@chasinghosts:

Thank you for looking it up. However, if he had been operating an M60 his MOS would have most likely been 0331, or a "machine gunner". I could be wrong though.

We were skeptical when he obviously had no clue what my husband was asking, and couldn't name a battalion or company or anything. He began to get very nervous, and eventually walked away. My husband offered him several times for a ride to the VA office to get his disability set up and such, and he declined. I really don't think he's a vet.
