(July 23, 2008)

*Kanye West and MTV personality Sway Calloway are reaching out to young veterans coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan.

'Ye and Sway will be featured in an MTV News special called Choose or Lose & Kanye West Present: Homecoming that spotlights the difficulties faced by three vets trying to re-adjust to life at home.

Those difficulties range from psychological problems to financial issues. Kanye and Sway actually help the vets by paying their bills or assisting them with tuition.

"There are hundreds of veterans out there who are falling through the cracks. They make the ultimate sacrifices for us by laying down their lives, but it seems like a lot of them just get forgotten about," West said.

Choose or Lose & Kanye West Present: Homecoming will air on MTV next Monday, July 28, at 10 p.m. ET.
