(CNN) -- After Brooks Douan finished serving in Iraq for the Marine Reserves, he returned home in October 2008 to battle something many civilians had already been fighting: unemployment.

To survive, the 24-year-old took temporary jobs in his home state of South Carolina. He donned a pumpkin costume during Halloween for extra cash. He took a temporary gig as a photographer, but he was let go shortly. The economy was to blame, the studio owners told him.

Over $60,000 earned so far!

Due to the generosity of many dedicated individuals and corporations, the 3rd annual 100 Holes for Our Heroes Event, which took place on July 4th 2010 and virtually, nationwide, has now broken the $60,000 mark! We have exceeded last year's numbers by $14,000!

Hire Heroes USA had a hugely successful trip this past week to Balboa Naval Medical Center and Camp Pendleton in California. We were invited to teach our Employment Transition Assistance Workshops to dozens of amazing wounded warriors that were soon to be transitioning out of the service and ready to embark on their transition into the civilian workforce.

Throughout a two-day course at each location, these veterans were taught how to build a winning resume, effective cover letter and to develop their value proposition, so they will be adequately prepared to express the value that they no doubt will bring to the hiring organization. Attendees were also taught invaluable interview skills and had a chance to put the skills they learned into practice during mock-interviews.
