Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs offered a great certification class on suicide prevention. If you've never attended a presentation, make it a point to do so this next year. We may not be able to stop all suicides, but we sure can try! Thanks Nicholas Brewer and Mark Provencher Jr. for your passion.

Alene Helmer and Michelle Flynn, you really made your mark on the community this week. The Office of Veteran Employment Services would be proud. Thanks for all the hard work you do.

Was a great day at the MCR EXPO in Fond du Lac with the Jamie Schramm and Leah Bischoff. Your "Make your Mark" program is a great way to get job seekers into the community.
