Facebook Twitter As The President of Save Our Veterans I have over 12 year experience helping to retrain and place Veterans including homeless Veterans into meaningful employment. I have worked with extremely large Corporations to encourage them to hire Veterans Including Disney, Chase Bank, and many others. I have worked with legislators such as Mike Pence, Eric Holcomb, to pass legislation to assist Veterans with training and employment. I have worked with the White House, Senators, Congressional members and the Chamber of Commerce as well as Bob McDonald Secretary of Veterans Affairs to bring about awareness and pass legislation to give Veterans better access to short term training dollars, and careers. I have worked with several schools of Higher Education to develop and prove short term technical training programs with 100% graduation rates, and 100% placement rates, these schools typically have experienced a 25% graduation rate. Be The Church!
