(USDOL) WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) today announced the publication of a final rule on priority of service for veterans and eligible spouses. The new regulations apply to "any workforce preparation, development or delivery program or service that is directly funded, in whole or in part, by the Department of Labor," as provide
Even though Veteran’s Day was commemorated last week, it’s still always a good time to honour the service that veterans have made to this country. And while, as soldiers, they contributed to the country’s safety, thanks to the Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative (VetFran), honourably discharged veterans are finding they can contribute to the nation’s wealth [...]

By Kathleen Doheny HealthDay Reporter TUESDAY, Nov. 11 (HealthDay News) — In earlier wars, it was known as shell shock. In later military combat — Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan — the emotional scars veterans brought back with them got new names for old problems: posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, substance abuse.

To me Veterans Day is a celebration of the honorable service that soldiers have given in defense of our great country. From the signers of the Declaration of Independence, who were committing an act of treason against the crowne but ultimately gave birth to the very ideals that endure today, to the soldiers of the Civil War who took up arms against their own countrymen to prevent the tearing apart
Every Veterans Day should be an opportunity to say "thank you" to all the service men and women who have kept this country safe over the years. Unfortunately, people have a way of confusing the war with the warriors, letting their political beliefs get in the way. But, you don't have to be in favor of a war to favor those who fight. Several of my friends have children fighting in Iraq and Af
Because they deserve it. This is a day to give a little back to the men and women who defend this country with their lives every single day, who volunteer to be a part of that and die so we can have our freedoms. Remember that. Give a hug to a soldier today. It might help make the world look a little brighter.(Don't click the read more, there isn't any more after this!)
Thank you to all those who volunteered to give their time and protect us in the service of the country. May those who have made sacrifices never be forgotten. It is with your lives, your limbs and your blood that we are able to express our opinions today. May we never forget what you [...]

Veteran's Day is wonderful day to say thank you to those who have served. I always find it odd that more people don't say thank you to those who have served. Our father served in the Air Force, and our grandfathers served in the Navy and Army so we are very thankful for their service.

Many Americans mistakenly believe that Veterans Day is the day America sets aside to honor American military personnel who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained from combat. That's not quite true. Memorial Day is the day set aside to honor America's war dead.Veterans Day, on the other hand, honors ALL American veterans, both living and dead. In fact, Veterans Day is largely intended t

George Bush must really like veterans. In fact he likes them so much that he decided to create a proxy war in Iraq just so we can have plenty of vets around for the parades in the future.This morning, remember to reflect at 11:11 on all those poor souls that fought in the muck and shit of the Western Front back in 1918.

As a United States Air Force veteran I welcome the coming change of Commander and Chief and I hope he will be a better judge of how, where and why our soldiers are deployed.
