Governor Rick Snyder asked a crowd of business leaders to make hiring veterans part of the plans for growing their companies.
Governor Snyder delivered the opening remarks at the Detroit Regional Chamber's annual conference on Mackinac Island. It's attended by about 15 hundred business and political leaders. He declared Michigan the nation's "comeback state," and said veterans returning from overseas should share in that.
"Cause they're making a tremendous sacrifice for us and I could not be prouder of the people serving our country and the Michiganders doing that."
The governor recently returned from a trip to the Middle East to visit Michigan National
Guard units. He's made job training for veterans and connecting retired military personnel to jobs a part of his workforce development initiative. Michigan's veterans have a low rate accessing benefits available to them.
