Janet salutes all Veterans for the dedication and patriotism that provides the freedoms we all get to enjoy as Americans. She also highlights many of the programs put in place to support our Veterans during and after their service has concluded. Programs like the GI Bill which provides benefits and reimbursements for education. In fact, Janet lists 13 different programs created just for Veterans. Give it a listen and pass it along to anyone who has stepped up and enlisted in the armed forces. We owe them all a debt of gratitude and on Monday, we salute each and every man and woman who has served to make the world safer.
