State of Washington Office of the Governor sent a letter to Mauricio Kenny, a Disabled Veterans Outreach Program Representative, thanking her for a message she received from Kathy McCurty explaining the efforts for creating “free training and employment opportunities for qualified veterans” in the State of Washington.

It was a great letter that I think you will appreciate:

“Dear Mauricio:

I truly enjoy receiving messages like the one I received from Kathy McCurty about your efforts to create free training and employment opportunities for qualified veterans in our state.

I appreciate your professional approach to assisting many of our state’s veterans with training and obtaining new career paths through the Veterans Recruiting program.  I was pleased to hear that many have registered for training while others have already been hired.  During these challenging economic times, it is important for our veterans to have the opportunity to develop skills that will get them back into the workforce and earning living wages to support their families and their communities.

Like Kathy, I value your obvious commitment to exceptional service and your willingness to go the extra mile.  Thank you for the terrific job you do.  You are the kind of employee I am proud to have as a colleague in state service.

Great job, Mauricio!

Sincerely,

Christine O. Gregoire

Governor”

After reading this letter, I looked into what Veterans Recruiting is.  Veterans Recruiting is a program from CR England, Inc. that helps veterans start a new life going to school to become a truck driver.  With a huge waiver of fees, they can start their new life to become a part of the working force.  Once graduated, these new drivers are guaranteed a job with the biggest refrigerated trucking company in North America.

It sounds like to me that there are people and corporations out there that want to pay back our military for placing their lives on the line for us.  I salute C.R. England, Inc. and how they say thank you.
