The Veterans Administration has hired ex-veterans as "outreach specialists" to help veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan to return to civilian life.
'They frequent job fairs, welcome-home events and other places where troops back from the wars might congregate and look for those struggling to adjust. The goal is to persuade them to visit one of 230-plus vet centers nationwide, which are operated by the VA to offer free services from job hunting assistance to marriage and mental health counseling.'
