Veterans Internship Essay

Decent Essays
Sir,

I have initiated an internship program for newly discharged veterans in my Information Technology department.

This would be a transitional period for you allowing you to gain experiences in both the civilian and technology fields. In this effort, I have connected with the MSSA Program team(http://military.microsoft.com/training/mssa/) and Jobplex. Partnering with the MSSA and Jobplex has given me access to their listing of recently discharged veterans who also attended the MSSA program. I found your resume in their listing and I am interested

    Even though I did well in my ASL classes in my high school, and I can see myself as an ASL interpreter. I'm more interested in becoming a veteran assistant. As long as I can remember I loved animals, and always got excited when I saw them. Since I took the ASL classes in high school I still enjoy it, but not as much as I enjoy helping animals.

    Veterans play an important role in society today and the history of not only America as a whole, but the people who live in it. They have earned us our freedom and our rights, and even continue to help even after leaving the battlefield, whether by actively playing a role in their community or going on living the lives they earned for America. Having no veterans would signify no victorious battles or even fights to begin with. The veterans that America celebrates show that America stood and still stands for values and independence. They play a key role in history- who ever read a textbook that didn’t mention ferocious warriors or soldiers conquering forgotten cities?- and create our future at the same time.…

    Is the government really granting veterans the health care and resources they need in order to survive once they arrive to their home land? Do you think that maybe just maybe the government focuses way too much attention towards funding the military instead of troops that have returned with some kind of disability or mental issue? I believe that the government is making a huge mistake on how they are granting health care towards a big group of individuals who fought for our country and for them not to be able to receive the proper care is a disgrace. These veterans should be established the best of care just for the simple fact that they have fought for our freedom and have gone through tough situations, which could be death related. The government as well does not offer enough…

    After only one year into Erica Slone’s Air Force enlistment, she was attacked and raped in her dorm room by another airman. That was in 2003.

    What a veteran means to me. The dictionary definition of a veteran is, a person who has has long experience in a particular field of the military, or a person who has served in the military. Federally, a veteran is someone who has served in ANY war, in ANY branch of military for ANY length of time. If you served in the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps or Navy you are considered a veteran. I believe that someone who can fight for strangers , people they don't even know, along with their own family even if they only served for a week, a year, twelve years, deserves more respect than anyone.…
