LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — An event has been held to remember the homeless who died in Lincoln this year.

The annual event known as “Longest Night of the Year,” was held Monday, and 13 homeless men who died this year were honored. Chaplain Brian Thomas spoke on their behalf, noting that the faces of homelessness are just as important as those who have homes.

Thomas said that four of the men were veterans.

According to Thomas, 21 homeless people who died in 2014 were remembered at the same event last year.
