Dear Paul Yost:
May is "Veteran Appreciation Month" in California. It is a period when special
efforts are made to impress upon employers the qualities which make former
servicemen and servicewomen good candidates for employment. It is a period when
special efforts are made to impress upon employers that veterans make good
candidates for employment because of their valuable experience, skills and training.
The campaign also helps to promote and publicize the employment services and
programs that EDD offers for veterans, and that veterans receive priority for those
services.
We hope that you, Mayor Yost and the City of Seal Beach will join us in a show
of appreciation for our veterans. A great start for "Veteran Appreciation Month" would
be, you signing this proclamation. We would appreciate any ideas or help you can give
us.
Sincerely
