A wabash valley group -- dedicated to supporting american veterans -- is once again reporting for duty.

The "loyal veterans battalion" opened it's clothing closet to anyone in need today.

The batallion collects supplies and donations and keeps them at this location on south 14th street in terre haute.

Today... the closet was open so anyone in need of a coat... clothes... blankets... and other supplies could get what they need to survive on the streets.

Battalion leaders say veteran homelessness is a harsh reality.

"we've had over a thousand people come through the clothing closet, so there's a great need in vigo county.

And in that thousand we've serviced over 175 veterans."

The clothing closet is open periodically.

The battalion also hosts regular meetings to discuss events and manage the veterans' home.
