JC Penney, in a partnership with Joseph Abboud, JOE, and IAVA are giving away $1 million dollars of men's and women's business apparel to 5,000 returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.The last day to apply is October 7. Click here, and apply.
You can also read about six veterans who have already been furnished with clothing in exchange for promotional purposes. Their stories are compelling, and each is transitioning into the workplace after serving our country. Here's Treak Tulloch, formerly of the US Marine Corps. He's taken the skills learned in the Marines, and now works for the Long Island Railroad in Information Technology
. He's proud for the time he served. You can even shop Treak's look!Note: I wish JC Penney, Joseph Abboud and IAVA had included female veterans amid the six in their promotional materials. It's only after one reads the fine print that you see women are included. Also, I've wrote to the PR firm handling this campaign and have let them know the site is confusing. Hopefully, they'll reduce the number of click thrus, and people will just be able to apply directly onto the JC Penney site.
