"If you’re a business that needs team players who know how to lead and execute an idea, hire a vet. If you’re a school system that needs dedicated, passionate teachers, hire a veteran. If you’re a non-profit that needs leaders who have been tested and can follow through on a vision, hire a veteran. Every sector, every industry, every community can benefit from the incredible talents of our veterans. They’re ready to serve, and they’ll make you proud." —President Obama on Veterans Day
"As long as I’m President, I’m going to keep telling every business in America—if you want somebody to get the job done, hire a vet. Hire a veteran, because they know what sacrifice means, and duty means, and responsibility means." —President Obama
