Vets Deserve Jobs, Not Just Patriotic Lip Service

摘要

Hiring military veterans is a popular cause these days, as Defense Department drawdowns and budget cuts send tens of thousands of military men and women back to civilian life. Yet many companies recognize vets' service with patriotic lip service, and little else. One notable exception is Klein Steel Service in Rochester, N.Y. Klein is proud that veterans make up more than 20 percent of a workforce that numbers nearly 200, including several of the company's top managers.
