Despite problems plaguing the Department of Veterans Affairs, efforts to benefit our nation's veterans and their families continue with the push to build a Greater Cleveland Fisher House on the campus of the Louis Stokes VA medical Center at Wade Park in Cleveland.

Tom Sweeney, President of the Greater Cleveland Fisher House outlines the effort, along with board member Doug Harvey and Rick DeChant, Executive Director of  Tri-C Veterans Service at Cuyahoga Community College.

Tr-C Helps Veterans Learn To Heal, and Heal to Learn

Cuyahoga Community College has been providing special help to veterans since 1963, when the school opened in the old Crile VA Hospital in Parma, providing education and career help to those who have served our country.  And with the draw-down of troops from Afghanistan expected to swell the number of veterans seeking employment, Tri-C has embarked on a new Veteran's Initiative.  Rick DeChant, Executive Director of Veterans Services and Programs for Cuyahoga Community College explains past efforts to help veterans, and what the school is doing for current heroes as they end their service to our country.
