1994 AS
WHEREAS, the people of California have great respect for the men and
women who have served America in the armed forces; and
WHEREAS, some veterans have experienced difficulty readjusting to
civilian life and have suffered great hardship, emotional stress, and
physical difficulties; and
WHEREAS, veterans, many of them disabled, represent a significant share
of California's homeless population; and
WHEREAS, although veterans often bring outstanding qualifications to the
marketplace such as job skills, experience, and maturity -- qualities that
employers admire in jab seekers -- many veterans have encountered difficulty
in securing employment; and
WHEREAS, Veterans Employment Representatives assigned to each local
office of the California Employment Development Department are committed to
ensuring that veterans receive the services to which they are entitled and to
promoting employer interest in hiring veterans.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Butte County Board of Supervisors
that they do hereby proclaim May 1-7, 1994 as Hire a Veteran Week and urge
local employers, organized labor, veteran organizations, and state and local
government to lend support to this campaign to increase employment
opportunities for the men and women who have served our nation in the
military.
