As I stumbled upon this site I thought "Wow, this is an exceptional business-model any country can follow!" Whether you support a war or not, supporting the troops who sacrifice so much is beyond debate. What a great way to repay them...with jobs. And what great jobs...GREEN jobs!

Yonatan,

Amazing how much has changed since the Vietnam era. It is awe-inspiring to see how now returning troops are given a hero's welcome, aid in the transition back to civilian life, and jobs. I am glad to see from looking at the website that corporations are jumping on this very worthy bandwagon. thanks for an inspiring post!

Yoni, this is a tremendous example of what can happen when private industry combines with other orgs. such as the Veterans Dept. I agree 100% that repaying these brave men and women with jobs is the least we can do. Yes, any country can do it!
