Ah, it’s been a while since I posted any news since I haven’t done DGS all week. So, here we go with this week’s past news.
We got a bunch of veterans being treated like the heroes they are.
A group of Marines on their way home from Afghanistan got something they didn’t expect after spending five days getting on and off planes on their way to San Diego: cheers from a crowd of police officers, a fire truck water salute and first-class plane tickets.
There’s more about those plane tickets in the link.
Starbucks is doing things for veterans as well. Or at least, it’s planning to.
Because Starbucks values the skills and talents of men and women in the U.S. military, it has announced a strategic plan to hire at least 10,000 veterans and active-duty spouses over the next five years.
We always see and hear about how hard it is coming back after service and living a normal life. Good for Starbucks for doing this. And, in such a short period of time. See what else they plan on doing.
