1st Sgt Gregory Haynes (U.S. Army Retired)

I joined the US Army in 1973, I served my country for (Twenty Two) years. I retired as a (1SG).

I supervised thousands of soldiers during my 22 years with the United States Army. I was a supervisor for individual training, soldier PTSD issues, Non- Commissioned Officer development, morale, mission planning, training and leadership development. In preparation for the Gulf War Conflict I led a joint effort to set up vital telecommunication operations. I acted as Command Sergeant Major in several capacities, and have led over 1,000 soldiers who were under my charge. Currently my goal is to give back to the Service Members in the State of Georgia as the Hire Patriots State Ambassador, and assist our states Veterans in finding day jobs or full time jobs with the leadership skills I learned while being on active duty. At present, I am a Georgia School District Transportation Specialist where I have taken on the role of mentoring a total of 5,000 or more school students on transportation required events.

Cherlyn Haynes (U.S. Army Spouse Retired)

I've traveled and transferred duty stations in support of my husband Greg’s Army career stateside and abroad for over 22 years. I understand the stress of being a military spouse, so you can rest easy knowing you've chosen to work with someone who is ready, willing, and very capable to assist with your employment needs. I am committed to being responsive, and will respect and guard the privacy of all veterans who are seeking assistance in the State of Georgia.

Also, I am an Associate Real Estate Broker at Solid Source Premier Realty; I have the knowledge and the experience needed for all real estate transactions for veterans and their family members. I am never too busy to help a veteran or active duty member who is seeking a home in the State of Georgia & Alabama where I am licensed.

Active military duty has graduated beyond the traditional combat-only responsibilities to include the hands-on application of leading-edge technologies, logistics, communications, analysis and leadership – skills in high demand at ManTech,” said Carlos S. Echalar, vice president of human resources for ManTech International. Half of the company’s 9,700 employees are veterans or serve in the Guard or Reserve. "Veterans who possess these skills closely match our customer base and have a deeper understanding of our customers’ infrastructure, culture and customs."

California is home to nearly two million  veterans, more than any other state. The high rates of homelessness and joblessness among our veterans is unconscionable:

Veteran unemployment is more than 15 percent—nearly 6 percent higher than the nationwide average.

There are more than 19,500 homeless veterans in California.  One out of every 10 veterans without a roof over their head lives in Los Angeles.
