On Veterans’ Day, it is fitting that we take a moment to pause and thank the veterans that we know. I have friends and family members that are veterans, and I am grateful to them for their sacrifices. This is why one of my chosen charities focuses on helping disabled and homeless veterans.
But what’s really cool is that there are people out there trying to make a BIG difference in the lives of veterans. The Little Caesar’s Veterans Program was created to help veterans — especially disabled veterans — find success in the civilian world. Here is what a press release says about the program:
The program helps military men and women successfully transition to civilian life, as well as create opportunities for those who seek new careers. (And, as sources of start-up capital are harder and harder to find during this economic crisis, this innovative solution is more vital than ever.)
Right now, there are plenty of veterans who need our help and support. And I think that it is only fair that we offer it to them. After all, they have given so much for us.

Very interestingly, in the UK a similar type of programme is also run by the Royal British Legion.
That is great. Is that the government that does it then? It would be nice if our government pitched in a bit more to help veterans.
This is always a great thing to hear about. Very entrepreneurial and philanthropic of Caesars. We have some very brilliant military members coming into the workforce. Their also great leaders
I agree, Bill. So many great people are being overlooked right now — especially veterans. We need to do a better of job of developing a quality workforce.
