I had the great privilege yesterday to help host our booth at a Veterans job fair at the National Guard Armory in Orange, NJ. Seeing so many eager men and women with that familiar determined look on their faces brought me back a bit. As a veteran who went through a period of unemployment, it became easy to connect with a lot of them: understanding the jolting of their life being restructured, the uncertainty of what is going to happen next, and the overwhelming desire to feel needed again.
Here at Slomin's, I was welcomed with an honor and respect I could recognize. Yesterday, I was given the opportunity to pass that on to my fellow veterans. And by the end of the day it looked like we had close to half of a dozen new candidates to be security consultants. And the best part: they already are security consultants.
America's heroes already know what it means to help and protect its citizens. From protecting our Nation as a whole, to one family at a time.
