and respect for those who served in the armed forces to protect and
preserve the freedoms we enjoy as Americans; and

veterans, have experienced difficulty readjusting to their homeland
and have suffered great hardship, emotional stress and physical
pain; and

significant share of our state's homeless population; and

skills which make them ideal candidates for employment, many
veterans have encountered difficulty in securing much needed job
opportunities; and

Development Department has programs and veterans employment
representatives to ensure that veterans receive the services to
which they are entitled and to promote employer interest in hiring
veterans;

organizations and state and local government to land their support
