Employing Veterans [Y-not]

This is a couple of weeks old - and maybe I missed it here at HQ - but we need a new thread so here's a story from the American Legion, who held their convention recently:

The American Legion honored two North Carolina companies and another in Texas with Employer of the Year awards at its 96th national convention in Charlotte, N.C.

North Carolina Food Service in Fayetteville was recognized for the large-employer category (201-plus workers); L-3 Communications ASD in Fort Bragg, N.C., for medium-sized employers (51-200 workers), and M1 Support Services in Abilene, Texas, for employers with 50 or fewer workers.

The awards, presented by The American Legion’s National Veterans Employment & Education Commission, are given to businesses across the country that have established outstanding records in employing and retaining veterans, workers with disabilities and older members of the work force.

I don't remember coverage at HQ of the American Legion convention this year. So, in case you missed it, here's how President Obama was received when he spoke there:

The reception was described as "tepid."

Our veterans are very disciplined men (and women).
