Another very good one from Forbes - I have to give them credit for stepping up their coverage of positive transition news; their name pops up more and more in my daily searching. Syracuse University recently held a "boot camp" (military involved, gotta call it that, right?) for service disabled veterans interested in starting their own business. And by "interested", they are not fooling: the application alone required "three letters of recommendations, their last three military performance reports, several essays and descriptions of any awards or involvement in outside organizations." The final phase of the program involved the participants pitching their ideas to venture capitalists. The veterans profiled, from their dangerous past to their dreams of the future, are a true inspiration.
