Stevie Nicks joins campaign helping veterans...

More than a dozen celebrities, including rock legends John Mellencamp, Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty and ZZ Top‘s Dusty Hill, are taking part in a new campaign to raise awareness about the plight of homeless U.S. military veterans. The initiative, organized in conjunction with the Ohio-based Veterans Matter program, seeks to raise money to help vets find a place to live.

The artists have recorded audio and video spots asking for donations by visiting VeteransMatter.org, or by texting “VETS” to 41444.

So far, Veterans Matter has helped find housing for more than 230 veterans and/or their family members in six states. The program’s goal is to house 1,000 more by the end of the year.

“There are still 60,000 more veterans out on the street that need your help,” Mellencamp says in his testimonial. “Help get the word out and share this on all your social media. Veterans matter. We must take care of our own.”

For her part, Nicks says, “Thousands of veterans are homeless and living on the streets of our nation tonight. Streets where they’re being beaten, robbed, killed. Let’s take care of our own. Please join me in housing 1,000 veterans as fast as possible.”

Other stars who have contributed messages to the initiative include Kid Rock, author Mitch Albom, and country artists Kix Brooks, Darius Rucker, Darryl Worley, Emerson Drive, and Jennifer Nettles

I love her. I love how she supports the troops no matter what. She does not take sides, or speak out just because she is a celeb. She makes a difference where it actually matters and where none of her fans can wrong her. I wish more celeretards would follow her example.

I appreciate that too. She focuses on causes that actually help people, without the need to politicize. Leave that to the pundits.

Stevie really needs to let people know she supports these causes...How hard would it be for someone to use her StevieNicks twitter to get her message out???

Thanks for posting this. So proud of Stevie for doing this. I especially loved when she said, " let's take of our own ". Time to wake up America!!!!

This is why Stevie is my hero! She genuinely cares for others and it shows. Yes, she's made mistakes in her life, but haven't we all? All of the hating on her these last few days has really made me so sad. She has given so much to us, her fans, over the years and she continues to give in so many ways. I'm so proud of her, and thankful that she's still out there going strong! Thank you Stevie for supporting a worth while cause!

Lots of love for this lady. As the son of a Vietnam Veteran, Stevie's support of our veterans has had an extra special meaning to me. She really is making a difference in a lot of lives, and doing so in a highly admirable, low-key way.

Good to see that Stevie is still supporting this...

Any veteran in this country being homeless is beyond ridiculous to me. 60,0000!!!! Thanks to all involved for bringing attention to this, and of course to Stevie for her participation in the cause.
