That's a figure I don't know.  I do know our national census is either nearing, at or beyond the 300,000,000 million level, and that something like 1% of our population is serving in our armed forces.

I'm sure the VA has the data you asked about.

  And what percent of the population are vets?  Stats on the homeless are meaningless without the full information.
