This week’s featured veteran is Marine Veteran Geraldo ‘Jerry’ Morales. Jerry is an accomplished Graphic Designer with over 10 years of creative experience. He has wide-ranging skills with expertise in project management, print production, vendor relations and marketing communications. He’s a critical thinker and effective problem-solver who works well under pressure, taking pride in the fact that he has never missed a deadline. Although he’s currently working freelance projects and working with a Veterans Service Organization as their Marketing Operations Manager, he would love the opportunity to join a company on a full-time basis where he can make a positive impact and be a valued asset.

This week we recorded the show live at the Minnesota State Fair on Military Appreciation Day. The U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines were well represented at the KTLKState Fair 2012 booth. Minnesota National Guard, Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Richard Nash was our first guest and we found out about what the Army and Guard in Minnesota was focusing on. We also had Navy CMD Denise Spainer on the show and she gave us the run down on Naval Operations originating from our state and told us about the Navy Ball.  Marine Command Sgt. Maj. Duane Hauer talked to about recent Marine Deployments and their popular Toys For Tots program. Air Force Greg Greg Haase wrapped up another great show at the fair with information about  Air Force and Air Wing operations, recent deployments and current deployments.  One topic every leader said they were focusing on is Veteran’s employment.
