Hey, thanks Brian. You always support veterans and we really
appreciate you.

Least I can do. So, you have multiple things going
on here, Dave, sponsoring nationwide job fares. Those are fast approaching.
What are these involved in? How can my veteran friends
out and listening audience and their families get in connection
with this?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Absolutely, Dav. We're nationally headquarter local organization. These job fairs
we pair up with recruit military. We do about ninety
eight a year. These are job fares for spouses, for
military members, transitioning military members, veterans. We've found veterans who
want or we've found companies who want to hire veterans,

(00:56):
and we're focused on lining them up with veterans. Our
next career fair is November twenty fifth, so a week
from today, you have time to sharpen up your resume
and check it out online at jobs dot dav dot org.

Speaker 1 (01:08):

website out of my blog page fifty five KC dot com.
So great opportunity, and thank you to all those companies
out there who recognize how great veterans are. They do
a great work, they think out of the box, they're
problem solvers, and they're hard workers. So you can't say
enough about hiring the American veteran. What's the Patriot boot

(01:29):
Camp all about?

Speaker 2 (01:32):
And this is a great program too that has enjoyed
a lot of success because of our support from local
Cincinnati and Tristate area CEOs, marketers people like that. This
is a two and a half day experience that helps
veterans become job creators and benefits providers. It's a fantastic event.
We've got founders coming in. They have all these great

(01:55):
different kinds of companies. We line them up with mentors,
line them up with classes, experiences, and just kind of
give them the building blocks they need to succeed as
business owners.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Well, I know you welcome all the assistants you can get.
How can interested entrepreneurs and maybe local business leaders who
really want to help the American veterans and give back
to the veteran military community. How can they get involved?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well? Absolutely, I mean first things first, hire a veteran
if you know, if you if you have room in
your company to hire a veteran, please God do it
for amen. These are great folks. They want jobs, they
want to contribute, they want to be part of a team.
And also, if you're a CEO, if you're if you're
a marketing specialist, if you're in business law, we want

ten through thirteen. But registrations open now. Local veteran business
owners can get involved. Local business leaders who are mentors
who want to get involved, please reach out to us.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Dan Claire, who chief Communications always or an outreach officer
for the DAV without obviously you're very interested in big
on helping veterans get jobs. What else does the DAV
offer to give caregivers, veterans needing transportation, and others who
need assistance with benefits. What else are you there for?

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I mean absolutely where their benefits are a big part
of what we do here at our office, our national
headquarters and Erlanger. If you know a veteran who needs
assistance with their benefits, we have veterans who have gone
down that path before themselves. They act as attorneys in
fact and help represent veterans, may demystify that VA bureaucracy
to some extent, and help expedite justice for those folks.

(03:38):
Caregivers is a great new program the DAV has. Everyone
knows someone who is a caregiver, and whether you're a
veteran who is a caregiver, or you know someone who's
a caregiver for a veteran. That could be a parent,
that could be a spouse, that could be children. We
want to get those folks involved at davcaregivers dot org.
That's a free service to the DAV offers. It's concierge

(03:59):
level services, connecting people with resources with what they need
to keep their veteran in the home longer or their
loved one in the home longer, and ensure that they
have a high quality of life while they're.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Doing that, and nobody understands the specific needs of the
American veterans like the dav So Dan Claire, I cannot
thank you enough for helping my veteran friends and the
listening audience get jobs at the job fair. This Patriot
boot camp for the entrepreneurs who will hire veterans because
they know it's the right thing to do, because they're
going to get a great employee out of it, and
you're going to land an American veteran in a job.

(04:31):
It's a wonderful thing you're doing. Dan. I appreciate it.
Thank you for coming on the program again. All this
information Joe Strecker will add to my blog page fifty
