Mullen: Veterans need job, education opportunities

CHICAGO — The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff asked business leaders Wednesday to take a chance on veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and offer them jobs and mentorship.

U.S. military chief Adm. Mike Mullen told the Executives' Club of Chicago that the unemployment rate for veterans is 11 percent, above the national average of 9.5 percent. He also said countless veterans from current conflicts remain homeless.

More than 1 million veterans "are returning from these wars and whose American dream hasn't changed a bit," Mullen said. "They would like an education, it's obvious they'd like to raise a family, they'd like to own a home. And certainly they'd like to be contributing members of society, and a big part of that is to be employed."

Heart for the Fight, Brian Stann’s story of how he went from Navy football player to U.S. Marine to UFC fighter, is like no other sports book you’ll ever read.

And no, that’s not hyperbole.

In a sense, it should go without saying that Stann’s book would stand out from the pack. After all, it’s hard to think of another athlete, in any sport, who’s seen and done what Stann has. However, it’s not just that Stann has a remarkable story. It’s that it’s told in a remarkable way.
