Sgt. 1st Class Andrew Landrum, a senior leader course developer at the

Chaplain’s School, and his wife, Andrea, talk to prospective employers

during the 2015 Hiring Our Heroes job fair. Landrum was looking to see

what jobs are available as he prepares for retirement.

Job hunters crowd an employer’s booth minutes after the Hiring Our

Heroes job fair opened at the Solomon Center. The hiring fair was held

to help Service members, retirees and Family members land jobs. Al-

high-technology firms – attended, with each firm offering three to five
