Imagine wrapping up a dedicated career serving your country in the military and not being able to find a job.
That’s the reality of life for a growing number of former servicemen, which is why Hire Heroes USA was created.
Championed by Executive Director Brian Stann, a decorated former Marine and standout fighter with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Hire Heroes USA is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide career placement assistance to America’s returning service men and women. The HHUSA program focuses on providing transitional assistance to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom veterans, specializing in the career placement of soldiers who were injured or disabled in action. The program serves veterans from all branches of the military: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Reservists and Coast Guard.
Here’s how you can help:
Hire Heroes was recently awarded a grant from the makers of the Call of Duty video game franchise’s charitable foundation, the Call of Duty Endowment. As an added gesture, C.O.D.E has informed HHUSA that it will donate $1 (up to a maximum of $30,000) for every person who becomes a fan of its Facebook page between Thursday, May 27 and Monday, May 31.
According to Stann, the additional funds provided by this initiative will provide outgoing soldiers access to Hire Heroes’ Transition Assistance courses and employment assistance programs, many of which are executed on site at wounded warrior rehabilitation facilities.
Here’s the link to the C.O.D.E Facebook page.
Please become a fan (click “like” at the top of the page) between tomorrow and Monday and post a link on your FB and Twitter pages, asking that your friends do the same.
It’s for a great organization and as the video below illustrates, the fact that veteran unemployment rates are close to 25% makes this a timely and worthwhile cause to support.
