[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1570051438763{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our veteran Nick Lopez, a part of our inaugural class of the V.E.T.S. Program, told his story of hardship of trying to find gainful employment when he finished his time in the military. Nick, now excelling as a member of one of our squads at EmblemHealth, discussed his quest to support his family and how it was never easy but he did whatever it took to do so.
“Sharp V.E.T.S. saved my life,” says Lopez, adding, “People think that vets join the military because they don’t have skills, but that’s not true. I joined the Army because I wanted to serve my country. The kind of job I now have, I was bred for in the military. After three years of looking, I’m grateful I was finally given the chance to do what I do best, and support my family in the way that they deserve.”
