Marine helps vets find work rebuilding after Sandy

Good for You to Kevin Schmiegel for helping veterans take the skills they learned in the military and get back into the workforce. Schmiegel is connecting service members with employers, and rebuilding the Jersey shore in the process.

Good for You to Kevin Schmiegel for helping veterans take the skills they learned in the military and get back into the workforce. Schmiegel is connecting service members with employers, and rebuilding the Jersey shore in the process. It's a win-win, because there are so many people in storm-ravaged areas who could use veterans' skills to help rebuild, while finding good works means a great deal to those veterans. One veteran explains, "You put so much into serving your country that once you take the uniform off, it's almost as if you lose a sense of pride and a sense of dignity, because you wake up, and you realize, 'I used to stand for something.'"
