Saluting All Veterans

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz writes “Hiring Veterans is Good Business” published in the November 9, 2014, issue of The Dallas Morning News Parade Magazine, on page 8. “Veterans don’t want your pity or a handout – what they deserve is a genuine appreciation for the skills gleaned from serving in the military.”

Many veterans come with can-do spirit and possess leadership and decision-making skills.  They know how to take and follow orders and exercise initiative.  With more than 1.5 million post 9/11 veterans already home and another million to follow in a few years, they deserve an appreciation and understanding for their sacrifice.

Schultz encourages returning veterans to take full advance of GI benefits including educational opportunities to earn college degrees.

There are multitudes of Internet sites listing employment opportunities for veterans including:
