More serious support for the troops
Posted on November 26th, 2009 by Craig Newmark
Hey, it's good to have an Administration which genuinely supports the troops. Here's a few areas where things are getting better, with a focus on veterans and jobs.
- The Department of Veterans Affairs (the VA) has a veterans youtube channel, leading right now with a video on green jobs.
- Homeland Security is trying to get jobs for veterans.
- The VA also has a Facebook fan page; I just joined it myself!
- Here's the Pentagon social media directory and the Navy social media directory.
- The VA and the Pentagon are working hard to get electronic health records transfer, which is vital to better getting vets' medical claims processed. (This is way harder than it sounds.)
Maybe small steps, but very real ones, focusing an real support, rather than just words.
