Three Cincinnati charitable organizations are banding together to help veterans with disabling injuries get help and find work.
Navigating federal, state and local organizations is not easy as a returning veteran. Some people are looking for information on the G-I bill, some need assistance paying their bills, and others are trying to find a job. Easter Seals Tri-State is helping to pool available resources. President and CEO Pam Green says the three parts of the Military and Veterans Initiative are a support network, a OneSource website and a veterans' employment program.
"Veterans have volunteered to die for our country and we believe that they deserve an opportunity to use those talents when they return."
