More than 100 construction companies pledge to hire at least 100,000 veterans over the next five years.
“Veterans are invaluable to the construction industry,” said Larry L. Melton, an executive with
Bechtel Corporation, one of the firms involved in the pledge. ”Men and women who serve in the military often have the traits that are so critical to our success: agility, discipline, integrity, and the drive to get the job done right.”
