First Of Its Kind Veteran's Resource Opens In Missoula
http://mtpr.org/post/first-its-kind-veterans-resource-opens-missoula#stream/0GOPers talk a lot about veterans. Dems actually do things to support them. Go Denise!
A first-of-its-kind training and intervention program for veterans celebrated its grand opening in Missoula Thursday, Sept. 29.
The Rural Institute for Veterans Education and Research – “RIVER” for short – helps vets reintegrate back into civilian life after their military service ends.
Executive Director Ed Lesofski says, “just like when they went into the military it took a while to learn how to become a military person, they have to relearn what society is all about and that’s part of what we do.”
RIVER offers job training, crisis intervention and some basic medical services.
...
The institute was approved for GI Bill funding through the Office of Public Instruction.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau says that allows vets to use their benefits to pay for training programs at RIVER.
“It’s a real benefit to particularly rural Montana," Juneau says.
