Honoring A Hero

The MSHV was founded and incorporated in 2000 by Robert M. Adams of Winfield, Illinois.

Red Cross Award Robert M. Adams was honored on April 23, 2009 as our Military Hero for his work in rehabilitating and serving homeless veterans. Bob served with the U.S. Marines in Vietnam, and he returned home to witness the obstacles, addictions and prejudices veterans faced. As a Marine, Bob holds the core belief that no one should be left behind on the battlefield, yet he saw his fellow veterans living on the streets. He found this unacceptable, and created the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans in Wheaton.
