 I'm Sam Johnson, I'm a Marine Corps veteran of the war in Iraq. We were on a patrol in Iraq and we came across a pressure plate IED and it took out the front part of the vehicle of the convoy that we were in. Luckily everybody survived but a traumatic experience. I was able to have some surgeries on my knees and feel good and now I can walk downstairs without too much pain. I work as a project manager in the utilities industry. I knew there was going to be a DAV recruit military job fair in Charlotte. I knew I was transitioning out and I knew I wanted to have a great job. So I went to that job fair, it gave me the opportunity to interview with these companies and land a job like being out here, interacting with the construction workers, the contractors and just making this world a better place. I'm a veteran. My victory is to have a job that I can be proud of.
