A tremendous “thank you” to Paul Beran, creator of VetNet, for hosting a veterans’ celebration at his home yesterday in Alexandria. As the wife of a retired Navy captain, this event held a lot of meaning for me.
I was able to share my appreciation for those who have served our country and my ideas for helping veterans and their families. That includes helping our military better transition to civilian life, training our former military members and their adult children to fill our cyber security jobs, as well as training them in the trades. I also spoke to the attendees about my idea to offer debit cards for veterans so they can go to any provider they choose. Keeping adult military children on their parents’ insurance plan until 26, like civilian plans, is also a priority of mine.
