Hey, I was involved in the virtual roundtable on Reinventing How Veterans Transition into Society in the Reinvent America series with a few really smart people, who are doing good work with vets issues.
The focus of the roundtable was, How do we improve the reentry experience of war veterans into the American economy and society? Since less than 1% of Americans currently serve in the military, it's a really important conversation to have. We need to talk about how to help our vets and service members reintegrate into society, including economically.
I talked a little about translating the skills that servicemen and women have into the language of the workplace so that recruiters and human resource folks can better understand how to leverage their assets. I figure if a person's going to maybe go out there and risk taking a bullet protecting me, I could do something, like help them get a job.
