This is really great for our Vets. Being a vet myself, I can't imagine coming home to such an economically depressed situation to not be able to find jobs or opportunities.
ReplyDeleteGood luck everyone!
Returning vets are some of the most hard working, disciplined, motivated workers i have ever hired.
ReplyDeleteIf you have the ability to hire and can hire a vet, please do.
