Remember Our Veterans on Veteran’s Day

11/11/2016

The entire world watched our recent Presidential election and we were reminded again and again that our freedoms come at a cost to those who bravely serve in our armed forces. Memorial Day in May celebrates those who have died while serving our country; Veteran’s Day celebrates the service of all military veterans, so we have the opportunity to reach out to honor and help our living veterans to thank them for all they have done.

Woman Around Town ran a three-part series, Veterans at Work – Winning on the Home Front,  interviewing three officials who assist veterans in the transition from the battlefield to the workplace. If you missed one in the series, you can click here to read the stories:

Part I – Helping Vets Find Jobs as Contractors

Part II – Helping Vets Help America’s Businesses

Part III – Holistic Help for Veterans

In addition, we have a list of websites for organizations whose aim is to assist our returning warriors. Whether you make a donation or volunteer with one of these groups, you will be giving back to a group that has given so much.
