U S Marine Afghan vet gets help

I was aware that the son of one of our #Universal Pest Control long time employees was returning home and leaving the military. His dad mentioned that he had been looking for work but wasn't having much luck. He worked at Amazon during the holidays but was laid off after the Christmas season. This is a really good young man who served in a forward position in Afghanistan. His frustration grew, he had a wife and baby to support.

As luck would have it, I was at a birthday party and was talking to my son in-law's brother who is a supervisor at a local firm and they were looking for a good person.  This man went out of his way to have this young man contact him, and then got him an interview with the hiring manager. The great news is that the young Vet has been there about a month is doing great and is getting a company truck. Thanks to all who helped him out and especially thanks to the Veterans for their service.

PHOENIX POLICE OFICER KILLED


Our hearts are heavy with grief because Phoenix police officer John Hobbs was killed this week attempting to apprehend a dangerous felon. His partner Albert 'AJ" Casados was also shot but, has been released from the hospital and will make a full recovery. Even though they had been shot they bravely returned fire and killed the dangerous felon. Thank you for your service.
