One of the big problems that many veterans may encounter as they return to civilian life is that getting ready for job interviews can be challenging. However, one group in Columbus, Ohio, is working to ensure veterans can walk into any job interview confidently.
H.E.R.O.E.S. Care and a number of local businesses in Columbus recently worked together to provide free suits and accessories to veterans, according to a report from Columbus television station WBNS. The event was a major success, with more than 100 suits being given away in just two days.
"It's pretty amazing the way this whole thing has come together," Mitch Stafford, a U.S. Army captain and organizer of the event, told the station. "Most of these veterans that have come in and out of here have deployed, have been away and have been in harm's way. They deserve this. They deserve every opportunity that we can afford them."
Veterans should always be prepared to reach out to groups such as these, the VA, and others to make sure they are getting as much access to whatever help they need as possible. Taking that step can do a world of good for a veteran who may be struggling for any reason.
