This is all I could find on the founder:

 

How a former addict found redemption among forgotten veterans

 

A former drug addict and dealer with a rap sheet reaching back to childhood, Meyer had retired from most of his vices with the birth of his daughter, instead pouring his energy into activism surrounding veteran suicide awareness.

 

It all started, he said, around 2011 with the death of his fishing buddy, an Iraq War veteran, who died in a car wreck.

 

“I talked to Chelsea (his wife) and she told me he had been talking about killing himself,” Meyer said.

 

Meyer started researching and soon found a Huffington Post article that cited an alarming statistic for veteran suicides: 22 per day. The Veteran’s Administration has published similar statistics.

 

That was all it took to transform Meyer into a full-time activist, serving as a grief counselor for the mothers of soldiers who had taken their own lives. He also began doing what he calls “walkabouts,” in which he took long journeys on foot while holding signs about veteran suicide. On one of his walkabouts, Meyer stumbled upon an encampment of homeless veterans. He decided to embed himself in the community and in the process learned about some of the most urgent issues they face.

 

Among them was safety.

 

“The first week of every month these guys get checks. Drug dealers steal their checks and Obamaphones (free phones give to the homeless by the government) for burner phones,” he said.

 

Meyer’s solution was to create patrols to stop attacks on veterans and to create military-style encampments to protect them from drug dealers and other threats.

 

Alpha Camp was established in August 2015, followed by Bravo in Tucson, and Delta in Dewey.

 

While the camps are open to vulnerable homeless people, they prioritize veterans.

 

The camps are run by homeless vets and provide protection and resources that most homeless aren’t able to find on the street, including visits by the VA and other government administrations.

 

Most importantly, Meyer said, they provide a sense of belonging.

“I completely disagree with how they have the system set up for homeless vets,” he said. “You can’t take them from being on the streets for 15 years and put them between four walls. They’re not used to that. You think you’re doing them a favor because you’re giving them electricity and a shower. They don’t need that. They need people to care about them. They need that brotherhood that they had when they were over there fighting because that’s the way they were programmed.”

 

While Veterans on Patrol works with various government and nonprofit organizations to provide substance abuse counseling, pathways to benefits, and even housing, Meyer remains ambivalent.

 

“I have a hard time putting these people in homes because I have no desire to be in one anymore,” he said.

 

Meyer lives everywhere and nowhere — at the three camps, at the houses of friends and at the new apartments of newly-housed former residents of the camps.

 

In most ways, he says, he’s dropped out. He has no bank account, no health insurance, no credit history.

 

“The only way I can get to these veterans is to go through it myself because that’s the only way you can develop the compassion and patience,” he said. “You can’t fix this in a week.”

Some more findings on Michael "Lewis Arthur" Meyer (interesting part in italics):

 

Arizonans involved in fight at occupied Oregon building

 

A Tucson group received a harsh welcome from a fellow Arizonan at a federal building occupied by armed militia in Oregon.

 

Three men led by Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, founder of the Veterans on Patrol group that built a shelter for homeless veterans and others at Santa Rita Park, arrived in Burns, Oregon, on Wednesday to get a friend out of the occupied Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

 

The Oregonian newspaper reported a fight broke out between Meyer’s group and militant group member Blaine Cooper, whose Facebook page says he lives in Humboldt, Arizona.

 

Meyer said Cooper punched him in the back of the head; Phoenix resident Jon Ritzheimer said Meyer’s group shoved a guard, causing the guard to bloody his hand.

 

In a Facebook message Cooper said Meyer and two men entered the refuge Wednesday night and assaulted a disabled Vietnam veteran. They then “stormed into the refuge” and assaulted Cooper.

 

“I do believe Lewis (Meyer) is a Paid Provocateur by the Fed’s (sic) to divide and destroy,” Cooper wrote in the post.''

 

Meyer told the Oregonian he went to the compound to get a friend, but the friend decided to stay. Meyer then tried to get women and children in the compound to leave, but was stopped by militia members.

 

The Veterans on Patrol Facebook page said militia members assaulted the group’s “Crisis Response Team.” One of the Veterans on Patrol members was taken to the hospital with what The Oregonian reported was a black eye.

Other than that, he has been arrested twice for climbing a pole (trespassing).

To allow them to continue living unimpaired is to risk all life. Someone has to lovingly squeeze their necks until they stop breathing. No offense.
