People who know me know I am addicted to Flickr, the most amazing photo sharing site on the web (by the way, I’m not associated with Flickr — this is real live consumer evangelism). It’s a place where would-be voyeurs clamor for photos from quasi exhibitionists who share everything from what they had for breakfast to to the way they dressed in the 70s. It’s great entertainment, and the best example of a community-building site I’ve seen yet.
Today is a day filled with memorial services and speeches in the name and for those who have served and continue to serve in the armed forces of the United States. While it is great to offer words and moments of silence, actions really do speak louder than words. As efforts to recruit young people of color and the numbers of Latinos in the military rise, many veterans return asking the U.S., what have you done for me lately?
After serving in foreign wars, many young soldiers return to the United States injured emotionally and physically and unable to find a job. According to a DiversityInc article, nearly 15 percent of veterans between the ages of 20-24 were unemployed in 2005. Compare that to the general civilian unemployment rate of 9 percent.
