Veterans making a difference.

Veterans Helping Veterans TV presents interviews with many people who are making a genuine difference for our veterans.  A recent example is an episode "Veterans Leading the Way."

(L) to (R) Luis A. Hernandez, Ben Sok, Sheryl Shaffer and Alfredo Capps.

Interviews with 2 veteran community leaders, Luis Hernandez and Ben Sok.  Luis is a Case Manager for the Goodwill of Silicon Valley and tells us how they are helping homeless vets.  Ben is President of the Veterans Student Organization at San Jose State University and tells us how difficult it is for vets to transition from the military to the civilian world.  The VSO offers guidance to resources available for vets. 

Another example of living a life in service to others is Keith Blackey. Keith is a Vietnam Veteran and tells how he is helping to give peace a chance in a war torn country.  He is helping to re introduce the Scouting program to Afghanistan and they are training the youth to become the future leaders for the nation of Afghanistan.
