Good Evening MTV,

 

I want to let you all know that Texas is leading the country in trying to assist veterans that are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.  The Texas Workforce Commission has created a program modeled after the Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program called the Texas Veterans Leadership Program.  This program is desiged to assist veterans in their transition into civilian life. The website for this program is: http://www.twc.state.tx.us/tvlp/tvlp.html and veterans can go to that website to view the Veterans Resource and Referral Specialists for their corresponding areas.  All 28 Veterans Resource and Referral Specialists and our Leader Jason Doran, Author of "I am my brothers keeper", are veterans that deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and understand that challenges that veterans face upon their return.  Could you please present this on your program?  Remember: If you love your freedom, Thank a Veteran!."
