Lt. Gen Franklin L. Hagenbeck to Outline NOD’s Career Support of Veterans with Disabilities and Their Families
October 22, 2013, Washington, D.C. – Headlining the Association of the U.S. Army’s (AUSA) Military Family Forum on Community Resources at its 2013 annual meeting, Lt. General (retired) Franklin L. “Buster” Hagenbeck will speak on behalf of the National Organization on Disability’s Wounded Warrior Careers Program. Since 2008, the WWC has served hundreds of the most severely injured veterans and their families by helping them to begin planning and preparing for careers, enrolling in school or training programs, taking jobs, and moving ahead.
Lt. Gen. Hagenbeck will share how the pillars of the WWC program’s work – providing support that is tailored to individual veterans, prolonged, and proactive – ensure that even the most seriously injured veterans can make a successful transition to a career, self-sufficiency and the dignity and sense of purpose that goes along with it. He’ll also discuss the expanding landscape of organizations serving veterans in the US, and the need for coordination amongst these organizations.
