“We realize many Veterans returning from military service are faced with challenges in finding gainful employment. We are very proud to be in partnership with VEC and many area employers who have expressed an interest in hiring and working with Veterans. Veterans bring a wide array of experience, skills, and training which make them ideal candidates for many positions,” stated Dr. Miguel LaPuz, Salem VAMC Director.
