VETS SOS BULLETIN BOARD/NEWSLETTER – “ROLL CALL” www.vetsos.net www.coderead.org REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR VETS DAILY BULLETIN BOARD/NEWSLETTER REGULARLY FOR IMPORTANT UPDATES AND COMMUNICATIONS May 2013 5/08/2013 PRESS RELEASE – JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL VETERANS JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL VETERANS SAVING OUR FAILING SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS Charleston, SC—May 8, 2013—VETS SOS (Veterans Saving Our Students), a division of the CTC Foundation Digital Education Project, has just launched an unprecedented countrywide campaign that will simultaneously solve two of the most pressing problems in our Nation today: Providing job opportunities for our Veterans, and saving our failing schools and failing students. VETS SOS, www.vetsos.net, is offering Job Opportunities to all Veterans, who are in the need of a new beginning and financial security; including Vets of all ages, Retired Vets, Disabled Vets, Wounded Warriors, Iraq and Afghanistan Vets, and Vets just returning to civilian life. “The safeguard of our freedoms is such an important and all encompassing mission that many veterans, upon returning to civilian life, find difficulty in adjusting, as they separate themselves from such an important cause,” notes VETS SOS Project Director, George Hay. “Now, the country needs our Veteran’s patriotic services again with a new and most important cause and mission that will provide nationwide fundraising and logistical support for the revolutionary new CTC Foundation Reading First Project.” The CTC Digital Education Project, www.coderead.org, will completely revitalize our country’s outdated education system by solving the critical academic and economic problems in our failing schools with 21st Century Digital Technology. The Program provides FREE Personal Computers and Digital Reading Devices to all our nation’s students, and FREE digital reading, studying, learning, and teaching technologies to the nation’s schools through the Foundation’s National Digital Schoolbook Library. “Personal Computers and Digital Reading Devices allow every student to take full advantage of the many new, exciting, and engaging digital learning technologies that place a universe of knowledge at their fingertips, and make reading, studying, and learning much easier, infinitely more efficient and effective, and just simply more interesting, stimulating, and enjoyable,” explains Michael Bond, Founder and Executive Director of the CTC Digital Education Project. “Digital Technology in the hands of our excellent teachers and our already techno-savvy children is the only solution to reach, engage, and motivate our modern students with a new passion for school and the learning process. Digital books and teaching aids give our students the tools to take personal control of their education No longer will they be bound by the constraints of a classroom or limited by an antiquated education system.” “No one can carry out this mission better than our Veterans,” observes Director Hay. “Our Vets are now, and always will be, the most recognized, respected, honored, and appreciated men and women in our country. Veterans are also the most disciplined, dedicated, and mission focused team that could ever be assembled to save our schools, our students, and the nation.” “The Program also gives all Americans the chance to help save our students, and at the same time say ‘Thank You’ personally to a Veteran for his or her service to our country. It will also provide a greater public awareness, recognition, and support for our Veterans just returning and transitioning to civilian life, and help guarantee that our Vets’ heroic and unselfish deeds and accomplishments will never be forgotten.” There are currently almost 1,000,000 unemployed Veterans in the US; many whose futures are about to change thanks to the VET SOS Job Opportunities Program. Veterans can learn more and apply for a position as a VETS SOS TEAM MEMBER at www.vetsos.info.

For over 67 years Sam Walton’s dream has solved many economic problems for the American public and the communities his stores and foundation serve,” observes VETS SOS Project Director, George Hay. “Walmart’s current program of hiring 100,000 Vets over the next five years is a shining example of what the private sector can do to show our Vets gratitude for their service.” Following Walmart’s lead, VETS SOS, www.vetsos.net, a division of the CTC Foundation Digital Education Project, www.coderead.org, is launching an unprecedented nationwide campaign that will simultaneously solve two of the most pressing problems in our communities today: providing job opportunities for our Veterans and saving our failing schools and students. “The safeguard of our freedoms is such an important and all encompassing mission that many Veterans, returning to civilian life, find difficulty in adjusting, as they separate themselves from such an important cause,” notes Director Hay. “Now, the country needs our Veteran’s patriotic services again with a new and most important cause and mission that will provide nationwide fundraising and logistical support for the revolutionary new CTC Digital Education Project.” The CTC Digital EducationProject will completely revitalize our country’s outdated education system, by solving the critical academic and economic problems in our failing schools with 21st Century Digital Technology.

In order to give more just returning Vets an equal employment opportunity, they have wisely limited their hiring to Vets within 12 months of their discharge date. The VETS SOS Program adds another layer of employment opportunities to the country’s almost 1,000,000 unemployed Vets, who will not be eligible for the Walmart program. “It is our hope that many other private and corporate organizations will follow Walmart’s lead and show their gratitude to the men and women, who have sacrificed so much to guarantee our freedoms,” Mr. Hay adds.
