MARINA DEL REY, Calif. (AP) - Air Force veteran Dwight Radcliff,

president of the United States Veterans Initiative, has died of a

heart attack. He was 55.

Family spokeswoman Nicole Ward says Radcliff died of heart

attack Saturday at Marine del Rey Hospital.

Radcliff was a tireless worker for U.S. Vets, which helps

thousands of veterans and their families find jobs, homes and

counseling. The group recently broke ground on a $35 million

affordable housing complex for low-income vets in Los Angeles.

Radcliff joined the group in 1997 after his own struggle with

substance abuse and homelessness.

Radcliff played guitar and went on tour with Stevie Wonder in

the 1980s. When he died, he played with a vet band called Living

Proof.
