VA, Monster Partner for Veteran Job Seekers Veteran-Owned Businesses Listed
WASHINGTON (July 22, 2008)- In a new plan to help veterans find jobs, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has
partnered with Monster Government Solutions, a division of Monster Worldwide, Inc., a company
that markets online employment services to employers and job seekers.
Part of VA's mission is to assist veterans to gain employment. Monster, in partnership with VA's Center for Veterans
Enterprise, provides veteran-owned small businesses the opportunity to post job openings for
veterans, including service-disabled veterans, at a large price discount. Monster will post the job openings for 60 days,
twice as long as for other employers.
"This government-corporate partnership represents the best kind of effort to help those who gave up time in their lives
to serve their country and return to an economic community that may not recognize their
skills," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. James B. Peake. "The program should make it easier for employers to find
qualified job candidates as well as veteran suppliers and service contractors."
To participate in Monster job listings, veteran business owners must be listed in VA's online Vendor Information Pages
(VIP) maintained by the Department's Center for Veterans Enterprise at http://www.VetBiz.gov.
In addition to helping veteran owners get business from other companies and prospective veteran employees find jobs,
VA's VIP pages will give Monster a source for purchasing services itself and VA will refer appropriate, listed suppliers to
Monster.
The VA-Monster agreement is initially for two years and provides for extensions.
More Veteran news can be found on our links and video page.

The Wall Song
The “Wall Song” is a tribute born out of the kindred creative spirits of poet Judy Gorman King and songwriters Mitch
Townley and Brad Dunse. Mitch heard Judy present her poem, “The Spirit Of The Wall”, at a Nashville benefit for
homeless veterans in March, 2008. She gave him permission to use the poem as the inspirational foundation for the
song. Mitch invited his good friend, singer/songwriter Brad Dunse to collaborate with him and the project was underway.
The Wall Song was recorded in Nashville in July, 2008 by artist J.P. Williams and produced by Chip Martin. We pray that
The Wall Song will honor our surviving and fallen heroes of the Vietnam War as well as any who have served in the
Armed Forces. Please share it with your friends and family Let us know what you think about it.
