Google for Veterans and Families
Transitioning from active duty to civilian life can be a huge challenge for veterans and their families.
Google for Veterans and Families, www.googleforveterans.com, a web site created by Google employees who are veterans or have a veteran in their life, aims to help make that transition easier.
Google products and services are organized into toolkits to help facilitate re-entry to civilian life, whether it be job hunting or finding support networks.
A companion YouTube channel also offers transition tips and a place for veterans to tell their story: www.youtube.com/veterans/
This news of being named an [ALA] Alex Award winner is especially sweet because I, personally, know what it means to be included into a world of free access to books, which has been my real family since the first day of the first grade, when I stepped into the bookmobile.
