A call to arms by a group of South Florida veterans angered over the recent deaths of two homeless vets in Miami.
The group Vets United said the military credo of 'no man left behind' applies to more than just the battlefield.
On November 7th, army veteran Ernest Holman, 67, was found beaten to death behind a Liberty City bus bench. A month later, on December 26th, marine veteran Todd Hill was beaten to death with as he slept on a Miami Riverfront bench.
On Wednesday they plan to hold a "State of Emergency Declaration and Rally" at Miami Dade County Hall to press the need for a homeless shelter for veterans.
The rally is scheduled to begin at noon.

I have never heard of this group, and I hope they are active for the right reasons and not using this as a "fund raiser" there are to many grous that raise funds and don't actually help vets. Does anyone know these people?
