Historic Day for Veterans

This bill will help veterans like Jason [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/11/21/hiring-vets-smart-business?utm_source=112111&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ], an Army officer in Iraq who managed hundreds of reconstruction projects (worth millions of dollars) for the military but could not find a job once he returned.
