The White House announced an ambitious hire-a-vet campaign that calls on the
federal government to boost job opportunities for former servicemembers.
President Barack Obama signed an executive order Nov. 9 titled "The Veterans
Employment Initiative," which is intended to transform federal government
into a model of veterans' employment.

Dear Mr. Wittke: I unfortunately know of no such reference to hire a
veteran. Those positions here in the VA restricted to veterans with
preference are housekeeping aids.
