Stressing progress, Obama will announce that overall veteran homelessness has been cut nearly in half, by 47 percent. The goal is to enroll 1 million veterans as part of the president's initiative to make "precision medicine," or tailored treatment, a reality. In a valedictory address to veterans, President Obama will argue Monday that getting ex-military members the health care and benefits they've earned is a national promise that "can't be broken." That's short of the president's long-held goal of eliminating veteran homelessness by 2015, but Obama says the challenge is being confronted. Obama will also announce that half a million veterans have voluntarily given blood samples and health data for a long-term government research program.
