LEARN MORE ABOUT VETERAN SERVICES

Overall, it's been amazing. When (younger students) find out I'm a veteran and that I have experience and knowledge, they find out they can access that just by talking to me. It's wonderful that someone in their early 20s actually wants to listen to what I have to say.
