New American Legion Effort to Reduce Unemployment Among Returning Service Personnel Gaining Momentum
Program Helps Turn Military Training and Expertise
Into Private Sector Professional Certifications and Licenses
Washington, DC – As the men and women of the U.S. military redeploy home after a decade-plus of war – and the Department of Defense simultaneously begins a dramatic drawdown in its military strength – soon to be veterans face a daunting jobs environment after they hang up their uniforms and face the very real prospect of extended periods of unemployment.
In recent years, the initial bow wave of separating military men and women have experienced some discouraging employment figures. Despite their state of the art training, high levels of experience and above the cut work ethos in a vast array of occupational specialties, newly separated veterans under 25-years old have confronted unemployment rates hovering at or above 18%.
At a National Press Club Newsmakers news conference, Steve Gonzalez, Deputy Director of Employment and Education Programs for The American Legion, and Bill Brigman, Senior Policy analyst with the firm SOLID LLC, will discuss a military workforce development effort that is gaining momentum. That effort is assisting military service members, well before they separate from the military, apply their training and experience towards attainment of recognized and sought after professional certifications and licenses. The goal is to win faster placement of returning service personnel into private sector jobs, by giving hiring authorities better understand their knowledge, skills and abilities.
This Newsmaker news conference is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Friday, May 16, 2014 in the club’s Bloomberg Room, on the 13th Floor of the National Press Building at 529 14th St. NW, Washington DC, 20045.

The Springfield Boys at Cosmos Theatre
The Cosmos Theatre presents THE SPRINGFIELD BOYS by Anthony E. Gallo Saturday May 17, 2014 11:30 AM Powell Room.
This
two-act dramedy by playwright traces the historically significant relationship
among Abraham Lincoln, his very closest friend Joshua Fry Speed, and his law
partner William H.(Billy) Herndon, from 1837 to 1891 (26 years after the
Lincoln assassination). Both Speed and
Herndon played important roles in the legacy of the 16th president. Oh yes, the Springfield Girls also have their
say. And the boys even help one another
on their roads to marriage. This
premiere staged reading of The
Springfield Boys will be performed by the Cosmos Theater Players. How did the pro-slavery Speed, who shared a
bed with Lincoln for four years, help preserve
the Union ?
How did he deal with Mr. Lincoln’s “blue periods”? Why did Mr. Lincoln choose this man as his
only complete friend ever? Where is the
Bible Mr. Speed’s mother gave young Mr. Lincoln (during one of his blue
periods) located today? No one showed
greater political allegiance to Lincoln
than Billy, who wrote one of only two eyewitness biographies of the tragic
president. Lincoln assistants John Hay and John
Nicolay’s 10-volume biography is frequently dismissed as too hagiographic. But Billy’s innumerable eye-popping but
questionable assertions about Lincoln and his family have influenced Lincoln biographers from
Carl Sandburg and Ida Tarbell to David Donald. But was Mr. Lincoln really a
free thinking agnostic? Was he
illegitimate? Other claims were even more shocking. Did Herndon forever malign Mary Lincoln
because of their mutual hatred (He: “She dances like a serpent;” She: “He’s an
uncouth drunkard”)?
