Unfortunately, for many veterans like myself actually going to college while in the military or once getting out are not realistic.

I attempted to go to college full time while working full time when I got out and it simply did not work for me. Something had to give and with bills...

They are the US citizens who answered our country’s call to duty....

With every good intention, American employers are honoring the nation’s military veterans  with promises of jobs and redoubled recruiting efforts.From Washington, where Michelle Obama announced yesterday that corporate leaders will hire 100,000 vets and military spouses in the next two years, to a Phoenix job fair today where Chase Bank is encouraging veterans to attend its job fair, the focus has been on addressing veteran hiring.
