Occupant: Adam Hayat, age 30
Lives in: Clayton; unemployed Iraq War vet
Time at Occupy: First-time occupant (Friday, November 4)
Spends the night: No
Reason to Occupy: "I lost my job waiting tables two years ago after a series of breakdowns. I want the president to look into the backlog of disability claims at the veterans administration. I'm here on behalf of all veterans who deal with Gulf War Syndrome."
