"Abandoned again," said Dugan.
Dugan is just one of more than two dozen homeless veterans now back living on the streets after the closure of "Camp Alpha."
Officials with the city of Phoenix closed the camp because it violated city codes against the construction of a camp and the storage of supplies.
Despite the closure people who heard about the camp and wanted to donate supplies or help out the veterans have continued to show up.
"Very disappointed. We were really looking forward to doing something for the veterans. We thought it was such an organized unique event that was taking place right here to have an opportunity to give something back," said Darryll Hargrove.
The camp's original organizer has planted a small American flag at the site of the Camp.
He says he will continue to do what he can to help out veterans.
"These people deserve more than what the city has been able to offer," said Eric Smaltz.
City officials say they have tried to provide social services to the veterans.
Dugan says he and other veterans have denied the services because Camp Alpha felt like home.
"I'd rather starve to death," said Dugan.
Camp Alpha was originally opened in October as a grassroots effort to try and help out veterans.
