After the Vietnam War, veterans would go to a "stand down," which was an area where they could clean up, enjoy a meal, and just enjoy being around each other.
Friday, the Dublin VA and the Macon Homeless Coalition have teamed up to host a stand down of their own.
They are hoping to connect homeless veterans with resources that could help them get housing and jobs.
They also offered free haircuts, showers and food, and the veterans received bookbags, sleeping bags, and shoes.
Joanie Oxley with the Dublin VA says she loves the encouragement and hope people get from these services.
"They are going from being homeless to moving in today, so that's my favorite part, and they are trying to get more housed today as well. That's my favorite part -- when you come out you get connected with services today it's not like leaving with a pamphlet, brochure, or flyer you get actual services," she says.
