The Winter Haven homeless stand down Jan. 25 at the D.C. VA Medical Center assisted hundreds of area veterans with clothes and medical checkups, but also provided the opportunity to meet with potential employers.

“These people are trainable,” Brian Hawkins, D.C. VAMC director said. “If they weren’t, they wouldn’t have been able to serve our country.”

    Why is it the VA paid for me to get my bachelors degree in nursing with post 9-11 GI Bill money but then they tell me I don’t have enough experience to work for them as a graduate nurse……go figure.
