Pretty disturbing when you consider how many men and women have served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, returned home, unable to find work, due to a perceived lack of education, despite training in the field.
Now to have H.S. schools not even give credit to High School students who choose to join the military. I hope that the N.Y. schools will be successful in changing this policy, and to give credit to those students choose a military career.
There used to a time, when joining the military was the Nobelist of career choices for families outside of the military. It seems that this choice doesn't seem to have the respect that it used to in certain sectors of society.
This being a N.Y. story, gives me hope that this doesn't go on in other states. Give credit where credit is due; be mindful that the freedoms we enjoy today, were accomplished on the backs of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
