		<description><![CDATA[By now, we all know Senator John McCain's military history and the fact that he is a true American hero, but what a lot of us do not know is that when it comes to supporting our veterans and the issues facing them, his record is deplorable. Any veteran considering voting for McCain should study his record and take a closer look at how the various veterans orginizations rate his record on veteran issues.<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "McCain&#8217;s Record on Supporting Veterans is Embarrassing!", url: "http://www.veteranjournal.com/mccain-does-not-support-veterans/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have all heard it before, "First impressions mean everything."  When it comes to the interview process this statement could not be more true.  The instant you walk through the door of any prospective employer you are being evaluated from head to toe.  A first impression is virtually impossible to change.  So be sure you are dressed to impress.<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Military Transition: Dress To Impress", url: "http://www.veteranjournal.com/military-transition-dress-to-impress/" });</script>]]></description>
