00:03.340 --> 00:04.340
Mhm .

00:07.140 --> 00:09.307
The wounded warrior hiring and support

00:09.307 --> 00:11.362
conference held in Vienna Virginia ,

00:11.362 --> 00:13.473
November nine and 10 was put together

00:13.473 --> 00:15.529
to help employers find out about the

00:15.529 --> 00:17.696
benefits of hiring wounded warriors to

00:17.696 --> 00:19.196
realize there's people and

00:19.196 --> 00:21.362
opportunities to assist them . They're

00:21.362 --> 00:23.473
support centers , there's areas where

00:23.473 --> 00:25.584
we can put them in contact with those

00:25.584 --> 00:27.640
that can help them transition to the

00:27.640 --> 00:29.807
civilian workforce . I think so many ,

00:29.807 --> 00:31.918
so many times , we assume other folks

00:31.918 --> 00:34.029
are doing this . We are assuming that

00:34.029 --> 00:36.196
other organizations are hiring wounded

00:36.196 --> 00:38.307
warriors . Uh and the fact is when we

00:38.307 --> 00:40.418
come together like this , we realized

00:40.418 --> 00:42.529
that we all want to do it . There's a

00:42.529 --> 00:41.650
lot of movement , but there's not a

00:41.650 --> 00:43.761
whole lot of action . Uh , so this is

00:43.761 --> 00:45.817
one of those reality checks to say ,

00:45.817 --> 00:48.350
how are you doing ? How are , how is

00:48.350 --> 00:50.183
industry doing it and how is the

00:50.183 --> 00:52.183
government doing it ? And then , uh

00:52.183 --> 00:54.350
making sure that we're actually hiring

00:54.350 --> 00:53.880
the wounded warriors ? It's not just

00:53.880 --> 00:57.540
talk . Mhm . Yeah .
