“I've never seen you turn anybody away.”
Paul Crowley and Anthony Bravo Esparza

Since the 1970s, Dreamer, a veteran himself, has been giving free haircuts to vets.  He can be found in a red, white, and blue painted trailer parked at the VA, where he averages about 200 haircuts a month.  At StoryCorps, the pair sat down to speak about their friendship.
