Here's a great idea that could spread anywhere easily - as it is, it's covering a lot of ground in Michigan and elsewhere. Project Salute provides free legal aid to veterans; created by the University of Detroit Mercy, it is staffed by law students and attorneys. The organization has put out a nationwide call for volunteers, aka pro bono attorneys, so if you know anyone in a position to help, please spread the word. Lawyers are the target of enough easy jokes (many deserved), so I'm happy to applaud those using their knowledge of red tape to help veterans in need to slash through it.

It is great to know that there are legal personnel out there that are willing to help veterans in need that do not have the financial means to hire lawyers. Im in a dituation myself and didnt know about this til now but to know it now is a PLUS!!

I have a disability rating, am trying to get hired by CHP. I passed everything but they won't hire me because of my rating. I have an appeal date, but no representation. I have two letters from independant doctors saying I can do the job. I have wanted this job since I was very young (dad works for CHP).
