“Dirty Jobs” Host Doesn’t Forget About the Vets
Written by Call of Duty Endowment on July 23, 2010 – 4:36 pm -If you’ve ever watched the Discovery Channel’s “Dirty Jobs”, you know Mike Rowe. He’s been the daring host of the messy and sometimes stomach -turning show since 2005. On Rowe’s website, Mike Rowe Works, there is an section entitled “Job Site” where people can find job postings in their state. One of the best links CODE came across is the “Vets/Military Resources” tab on the page. This page links veterans and other military members with local jobs in their area.
As the page suggests, Mike Rowe is quite concerned with veteran’s unemployment and is personally involved in a number of veteran’s causes. And for that CODE has to thank him for his concern and participation to raise awareness to the many issues that relate to our veterans.
But his website does not just stop at linking veterans with jobs, as Mike himself gets down and dirty to help them out in a way that many might miss. Specifically, he highlights an organization called Green Care for our Troops. This organization realized many things are left unmanaged when men and women in the military set off on tours across the world. One thing in particular is lawn care. It’s such a simple task if you think about it, but if it’s not done it can create a jungle of untamed weeks and branches. Not something you want to come home to after months away from home.
Green Care for our Troops have provided lawn care and landscaping services for thousands of military members and their families and CODE is grateful for their work. And the best part, Mike doesn’t need to be the only one lacing up his work boots; you too can get dirty by volunteering for the organization by clicking HERE!
