Adopting a Pet, Operation PAVE Expands Employment Opportunities, Becoming a Student Veteran, Grand Canyon Restoration


Five questions anyone considering adopting any pet or service animal should ask themselves first are discussed in this article: http://www.anythingpawsable.com/before-partnering-with-a-service-dog/ Of course, looking into the loving eyes of a pet may make those questions a little blurry!

Paralyzed Veterans of America has partnered with AmeriCorps and the Points of Light Foundation in an effort to expand the reach of vocational assistance and support to all veterans through Operation PAVE (Paving Access for Veterans Employment). See the full article at: http://www.pva.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=ajIRK9NJLcJ2E&b=6350111&ct=13371581&notoc=1

If you’re a Veteran, thinking of going to college, or trade school, you aren’t alone.  Here’s a recent article in NPR about the changing face of Student Veterans: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=236259368
