American Legion Hiring Heroes Today In Orlando

The American Legion held the 2012 Hire Heroes event at the Renaissance Sea World Orlando Hotel. There were 40 tables set up to help put our troops back to work or help them with college.

Two colleges promised me they would put together veterans groups so veterans can find each other and the support they need.

Roadmaster was there trying to get veterans back behind the wheel of the "big toys" they are already used to driving.

There were representatives from Congresswoman Sandy Adams office and Congressman Webster's representative Cindy Brown spent a great deal of time talking about what is going on with our veterans. Delightful lady!

Walmart said they do not use veteran's preference in hiring but the skills gained in the military work well with advancement. I talked to a veteran in management now and he said it was his skills that took him from cashier to store management.

There are a lot of great things going on for veterans and there should be more media coverage of these events. That is the one thing that bothers veterans the most.
