NATIONAL HIRE A VETERAN DAY

Jensperspectiveblog Leave a comment

Every day, hundreds of our military personnel leave the service in search of civilian employment. On July 25th, National Hire A Veteran Day reminds employers to consider veterans to fill their open positions. As highly trained, qualified individuals, they’re ideal for numerous trades.

Legislation protects separating service members as they enter the civilian workforce. However, the best way a potential employer can honor a veteran is to hire one!

While other service members continue to serve in points unknown, the day provides their returning brothers and sisters with an opportunity. Many skills gained in the military world transfer to the civilian world. Both small and large businesses benefit from the talent of our veterans, too. Regardless of the position, find qualified candidates in a range of fields. For example:

  • Information Technology
  • Engineering
  • Cyber Security
  • Sales
  • Marketing
  • Management
  • Finance
  • Healthcare
  • Skilled Trades

NATIONAL HIRE A VETERAN DAY HISTORY

By spreading awareness and creating the #1 Veteran Job Board platform, Hire Our Heroes has become the connective tissue linking corporate America to our veterans.

HISTORIC BRIDGE AWARENESS MONTH

Jensperspectiveblog 3 Comments

Throughout November, Historic Bridge Awareness Month explores the spans and arches that carry goods and people across the country.  Whether the trusses are only a memory or stand proudly still against the horizon, Historic Bridge Awareness Month recognizes their place in the building of a nation.

We are nostalgic where bridges are concerned. They played an iconic role in building the United States. From carrying supplies West to the impressive towering trusses carrying locomotives across wide gorges, bridges took dreamers to unimaginable destinations. Through miracles of engineering, humans built solid pillars of stone and arching steel structures. But they didn’t stop there. Thanks to the development of steel cable, bridges seem to float across open spans of water carrying the weight of small cities. And yet, we still explore the colorful wooden covered bridges that dot the country.

We’ve transformed some of our precious steel bridges from vehicle to pedestrian traffic for preservation purposes. Nostalgia has a way of making us look back while we’re looking forward. Historic bridges provide a record for a community of the people who have gone before them. Preserving them is not just a sense of nostalgia, but a means of restoring an engineered structure to purposeful use.

HISTORY

HistoricBridges.org unofficially declared November Historic Bridge Awareness Month in 2006 to reflect on the loss of historic bridges and to encourage preservation of historic bridges.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Visit a famous bridge or learn the history of your favorite crossing. Around the country, there are thousands of lost bridges. Many have been replaced over time. Curious about the bridges in your community? Visit your local historical society to find out more, or go bridge hunting on your own. It can be quite the adventure!  Use#HistoricBridgeAwarenessMonth to post on social media.

UNITED NATIONS DAY

Jensperspectiveblog 4 Comments

United Nations Day recognizes the founding of the United Nations (UN) in 1945. The celebration is observed annually on October 24th. 

U.N. Day has traditionally been marked throughout the world by meetings, discussions, and exhibits about the achievements and goals of the organization.

The United Nations works for the entire human family of seven billion people and cares for the Earth, our one and only home. ~ Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

Today the United Nations consists of 193 member states and 2 observer states. The mission of the United Nation is to maintain international peace and security.

The UN also sets terms for protecting human rights around the world. In 1948, they created international law with a Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The member nations deliver humanitarian aid to populations in crisis. The first aid delivered was an immediate response to the devastation following World War II.

Another aim of the international organization is to promote sustainable development.

Some major achievements of the UN include:

  • The UN peacekeeping budget is less than 0.5% of global military spending
  • Their World Food Programme (WFP) provides food and assistance to 91 million people in 83 countries
  • They also supply vaccines to 45% of the world’s children
  • The UN helps people who displaced by violence, conflict, and persecution

NATIONAL UNITED NATIONS DAY HISTORY

Franklin D. Roosevelt coined the name “United Nations” during World War II. Twenty-six nations united to pledge their governments to continue fighting against the Axis Powers. In 1945, delegates from 50 countries drew up the United Nations Charter in San Francisco, California. They signed the Charter on June 26th, 1945 and it was ratified on October 24th, 1945. United Nations Day originated in 1948.
