 President Barack Obama addressed the White House forum on the need to ensure that service members who are transitioning to the civilian workforce are given every opportunity to get employment worthy of their skills. George Washington once said, when we assumed the soldier, we did not lay aside the citizen. Our troops and our military families who serve right alongside them keep us strong and they keep us safe. And as Commander-in-Chief, I've pledged that just as they've left their homes and families take care of us, we've got to make sure we're taking care of them when they come home. That's our sacred obligation, to make sure that they get the care and the benefits and opportunities that they deserve. And that includes economic opportunity. Good jobs worthy of their incredible talents. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Pat Officer James Tolpec.
