Hundreds of thousands of servicemen were exposed to asbestos over decades, especially during the period from 1940 to 1980. Asbestos was used in construction of naval vessels as well as shore facilities. All branches of the military used asbestos, which was also widely used in civilian applications. Asbestos can cause mesothelioma. Because this cancer has a particularly long latency period, many servicemen who were exposed years ago are now developing this disease.
- Mesothelioma Patient & Family Resources: Mesotheliomahelp is provided by Belluck & Fox, LLP as a comprehensive resource for mesothelioma victims and their families. The site provides up-to-date information on the latest news and treatment options as well as an easy to use search feature to find local mesothelioma doctors and health care clinics.
We fight for veterans harmed by asbestos: Veterans with mesothelioma or asbestos-related lung cancer should know they have options: the opportunity to bring a suit against manufacturers and sellers of the asbestos that caused their illness. If you were harmed by asbestos exposure, for example, in ships or military housing, contact Weitz & Luxenberg to get a free case review.
Important Information for Veterans: Asbestos products were often used on military ships and within military housing, and Veterans may have been exposed. Previous exposure to asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma, a fatal cancer that has no cure and affects countless Veterans and loved ones.

Hiring managers struggle to find employees, even as millions of jobs seekers are desperate for work.
By Gordon Gates
Despite millions of unemployed job seekers desperate for work, many open positions are languishing unfilled. The reason? Not enough candidates.
With job openings largely concentrated in specialized industries like healthcare, green technology and energy, some employers say the problem is finding qualified workers, which are in short supply. Meanwhile, they are inundated with eager candidates from other industries who lack the skills and experience that the job requires.
Having a perfect résumé is essential if you want to break into the civilian job market. Not only must your résumé be formatted to your new industry, but it must also emphasize military skills that are transferable to civilian jobs. Professional Military-to-Civilian Transition Résumé Writing greatly improves the odds of getting a civilian job in your favor.
Many people agonize over writing a résumé, and often for good reason. It is challenging and difficulty to write an effective, creative résumé that gets results. Most prospective employers decide after reading the first few lines whether or not they want to interview you. Add to that the vast sea of competitive candidates with whom you're going head to head, and suddenly the entire process of crafting a winning résumé can seem daunting if not impossible.
Real-world knowledge and skills are essential in today's competitive job market. Kaplan University has teamed with HireVeterans.com to offer job positions to US Veterans. Kaplan University's campus based programs offer the education to prepare you for the life you want to live.

We live in an era that has seen dramatic change in recent years -- an era that is rapidly evolving. Globalization, technology, HIV/AIDS, rapid population growth, terrorism, conflict, weapons of mass destruction and failing states -- these are just some of the issues shaping today's world. Most of these issues - both good and bad -- do not recognize national borders. They affect us directly and are dramatically altering the way in which we think and operate. To provide help and support to the USAID worldwide humanitarian assistance efforts, HireVeterans.com has teamed up with USAID to provide Veterans for their job fulfillment needs.
But we still face an uncertain future. In many developing countries, HIV/AIDS and health issues are having a dramatic impact on social cohesiveness and economic strength, blocking the very development goals we seek. Virtually all the new democracies in the world today are fragile; others are democracies more in name than substance. Nearly a quarter of the people living in developing countries, or about one billion people, live in absolute poverty. There are a host of other threats - ranging from terrorism to infectious disease and violent conflict - that challenge us and the developing nations we seek to help.

Hiring a wounded Veteran is not good will, it's just good business.
by Captain Lonnie Ryan
Getting a job is tough these days. But to one select group of Americans, the job hunt may be more bewildering than for most people. They're wounded warriors, home from the battlefield, trying to heal and figure out how to transition to the career world. Finding a job can be difficult. But for thousands of wounded soldiers with life-altering injuries from the war, the challenge is even greater. Severe burns, prosthetic limbs and traumatic brain injuries can add formidable obstacles to everything from submitting a résumé to preparing for a job interview.
What severely wounded veterans do have on their side is perseverance. Strained by war, recently discharged wounded veterans are having a harder time finding civilian jobs and are more likely to earn lower wages for years due partly to employer concerns about their mental health and overall skills, a government study says. Military personnel officials are launching an outreach program as part of a push to hire more wounded warriors and their spouses as civilian employees. The most prevalent injury among injured soldiers and veterans is post-traumatic stress disorder followed by traumatic brain injuries and amputations.
News: U.S. Job Seekers Exceed Openings by Record Ratio - N.Y. Times
In today's New York Times we have an article decrying the record number of Americans that are unemployed and applying for jobs that simply are not there. The article is here.
This is actually a national security concern. People get disgruntled when they are willing and able to find work and there is no work to find. They get violent and start talking about communism or even worse, they just turn to the black market for "jobs" that can be created on the spot. That usually involves organized crime families.

Employers Need to Hire Veterans, and Veterans Need to Put Their Best Foot Forward in Their Job Search
More resumes yield better results, submit and be discovered
In this job environment, failure is not an option
by Captain Lonnie Ryan
As the son of a now deceased Veteran of World War 2, I have a special appreciation for Veterans Today that are seeking employment in this somewhat bleak economic environment. US Navy CBM John P. Ryan, my Dad, was #1 gun turret Chief on the battlewagon Alabama. He was the youngest Chief Petty Officer at the San Diego Training Center as he fudged his age when enlisting and got in before the legal age. He served almost 20 years and at his death almost 3 years ago was only receiving $1500 or so a month in retirement plus medical benefits. We owe this current group of Veterans much more in appreciation within our hearts and outstretched hands in an effort to do all we can to employ these heroes in the tough job market that exists today.

Unemployed workers need to change tactics, brace for frustration
George Jackson, a U.S. Veteran and defense worker from Los Angeles, CA., has been looking for a job since January 2008. But after sending out 245 resumes and getting only a few job interviews that went nowhere, he gave up.
“When July 1 came around, I decided to take the summer off,” he said, referring to his job search.
Jackson, 55, is what the government calls a “discouraged worker” — basically individuals who have given up the job search — and their ranks have hit an all-time high.
In August, there were 758,000 discouraged workers, down slightly from 796,000 in July but nearly double the 381,000 a year earlier. The July level was the highest since the government began tracking the statistic in 1994, according to James Walker, labor analyst with the U.S. Department of Labor.
