VFW Statement on Veterans Job Corps Initiative
'We thank President Obama for continuing to move the issue of veterans’ employment forward'
February 03, 2012
“There is no initiative too bold when it comes to helping veterans get
jobs, especially with the new generation of post-9/11 warriors now reentering
society in numbers not seen since the Vietnam War. Our nation and her public
and private employer partners must do everything possible to not only ensure
their smooth transition, but to enlist their extraordinary talents to help
serve and protect our nation and communities, and to help restore our economy
to greatness. We thank President Obama for continuing to move the issue of
veterans’ employment forward, and for his strong commitment to those who have
worn the uniform and to their families.”
—Richard L. DeNoyer, national commander of the 2 million-member Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the U.S. and its Auxiliaries
