It’s no secret we poach our soldiers from the sectors of our country with the least economic opportunity and lowest educational standards and achievements. What are we doing as a society or as individuals to integrate our soldiers into society with jobs after military service.
Francesco Rulli of the Film Annex has found an elegant answer to this pressing problem through; G.I.V.E. The Global Initiative for Veteran Entrepreneurship. Rarely has an acronym been more accurate. http://www.filmannex.com/webtv/give
The Film Annex is acting as a veteran support organization providing veteran business opportunity to start their own business and make their experience in the Military valuable rather than being labeled victims of the system. Film Annex is helping veterans promote their ideas and find investors. Veterans are given paid to blog opportunities to write stories at Film Annex and work to improve military veteran employment.
I was so captivated by Marine Michael Huie's first interview there was no way I couldn't watch the second interview. I was amazed at how Marine Michael Huie's looked at the world with fresh eyes and saw military employment opportunities everywhere. He clearly was not embittered by his military experience on the contrary he has drawn nourishment from it and has become a person we as a country can be proud of. I never saw anything like this before. It was amazing to see one person’s perspective so clearly and deeply. It gave me a new appreciation for our military as a liberal who is by nature skeptical of the military.
I am addicted to this documentary series its raw gritty truth is pure and unfiltered. Each time I watch an episode I click on the next episode. When there are no more episodes left I am left wanting to watch more. Please got to the Film Annex at WWW.FilmAnnexCorp.Com it’s free to sign up watch this documentary and others like it. It will give you hope in the youth of our country.
The first 3 interviews with Marines Michael Huie, Patrick Lloyd & Patrick Bonney will make you appreciate what you have and be grateful for whatever blessings life has given you. In a society obsessed with fame and material possession these kids are working towards creating an Afghan education system and building schools in Afghanistan.
The powerful themes of military veteran employment and the lack of military employment opportunities are tough pills to swallow but there is no bitterness in our troops just hope and truth.
