    No, but veterans add incredible value to any organization. Their leadership skills are transferable to the corporate workforce. The dedication, grit and passion it takes to work in the military are all desirable skills that any organization can benefit from.

    After spending more than a decade traveling the US due to my husband’s Air Force career, I’ve become an advocate for veterans. For many years, I found that most employers were hesitant to hire veterans simply because they didn’t understand how to translate the experience they have in civilian terms.
