Using this new price estimate, the president could feed every homeless veteran in the United States three meals a day for nearly nine months, based on figures from a previous Newsweek analysis.

A Department of Housing and Urban Development report published last year estimated there were 40,056 homeless veterans. The latest data available from a 2015 report by Feeding America, a nonprofit hunger-relief organization, estimated the average cost-per-meal in the U.S. was $2.94.

A $92 million military parade could provide the 40,056 homeless veterans about $264 per month. Each meal priced at $2.94 would pay for three free meals each day for about 8.68 months.
