The Iraq invasion began ten years ago today, and while I’ve seen a lot of news stories and essays looking back over the last decade, I see few looking forward. The Iraq war (and any war) is significant in the lives of those who fought, but many years of success lie ahead after folks leave the military, and the battlefield as well.
To that end, the US Chamber of Commerce has held dozens of Hiring our Heroes job fairs for Veterans all across the country, which have helped many Vets find meaningful employment after their service.
We’ve posted the remaining fairs for the month of March and through April below, so update your resume and check to see if there’s one coming near you. If not, this map of hiring events details all the fairs happening through winter.

I was wondering will there ever be a event in Alabama. I haven’t seen a event held in Alabama yet and I feel like its not fair to the Veterans in Alabama that are trying to find jobs. I’ve been out the Army since December of 2011 and I can’t find a job. A lot of companies feel that they are taking a risk on hiring a veteran. Veterans in Alabama really do need your help. Thank you and god bless.
