Hiring Our Heroes
March 28th 7am-2pm

TODAY is joining forces with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to launch a new initiative: Hiring our Heroes. There are more than 1 million unemployed veterans in America. As service members return from Iraq and Afghanistan during the next five years, hundreds of thousands of more men and women in uniform are leaving active duty. TODAY will broadcast a three-day series in late March on this topic, culminating in free worldwide job fairs for veterans on March 28th. More than 1,500 veterans and military families and 100 companies are expected to participate. Registration is currently open.
