CBS Radio Connects Vets

CBS Radio just launched “CBS Radio Presents ConnectingVets.com… Connecting Vets Every Day,” a national, multimedia resource that links military veterans and their families to relevant information, resources, solutions, and most importantly, each other. The content will be produced and presented by fellow vets who understand the complexity and stages of transitioning from the military ranks back into civilian life. It will cover such important topics as health and fitness, employment and entrepreneurialism, education, finance, and issues particularly impacting female veterans and veterans’ families.

“This new resource is a testament and a dedication to the selfless acts of U.S. veterans and all they do to ensure our freedoms and our very way of life,” said Steve Swenson, SVP/Market Manager, CBS Radio Washington. “We’ve created a streamlined, solutions-based product that will provide our vets with immediate and easy access to all of their available resources, and to their fellow veterans. We’re confident that together with our partners this dedicated resource will become a go-to source for our nation’s heroes and those around them.”

Chas Henry (Captain, U.S. Marine Corps [Ret.]), Managing Editor of CBS Radio Presents ConnectingVets.com… Connecting Vets Every Day, said, “There are lots of agencies and groups working to help vets stay healthy, gain education and get jobs. Some are official but hard to connect with; others are well meaning but perhaps thinly resourced. Our goal is to gather and verify the sometimes fragmented data — connecting vets to the information they need, when they need it.” Programming is accessible online at connectingvets.com and Radio.com, with audio on-demand available at connectivingvets.com/podcasts, and on WJFK-AM/Washington.
