As we prepare to honor all our veterans, military personnel and their families next week for Veterans Day 2015, I want to highlight an important event in our community that is helping veterans find jobs.

The Tucker Civic Association is holding its Veterans Job Fair at Rehoboth Baptist Church; 2997 Lawrenceville Hwy, Tucker, GA 30084 on Thursday, Nov. 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The fair will feature information on veterans’ services as well as complementary résumé critiques and on-site printing.

My office will have a table at the fair highlighting the services we provide veterans but more importantly there will be a host of employers attending, such as Goodwill of North Georgia, Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia Department of Labor and big-name companies such as Delta Air Lines and institutions of higher learning like Emory University and Georgia Perimeter College.
