STOP SCHOOL SHOOTINGS! Place armed Veterans at every school. There are thousands of unemployed Veterans that would love the job of protecting our children! This idea was sparked by a recent photo trending of a little girl whose mother caught her in the bathroom standing on the toilet. When she was asked what she was doing, she answered, "I'm practicing our schools Active-Shooter drill!" At such a young age, and having to practice drills of such kind are just heartbreaking. When we send our children out into the world to learn, we don't expect that they may never come back. Unfortunately, these are some of the things that we need to worry about with today's society. Another passion I see, that my fellow Americans have, is taking care of our Veterans! A year ago, the unemployment statistics for returning Veterans was substantially higher than the national population’s (which itself was already high). In the months since, however, unemployment amongst America’s returning heroes has fallen significantly. Although the unemployment stats for post-911 Vets still stands at over 10%, the number for all Veterans hovers around 6.3%, compared to the national average of 7.9%. These are encouraging numbers. However, when you consider the incredible sacrifices that these uniformed men and women made for our country – it’s clear that we still have a long way to go. Ideally, the number should be 0%. And I don't see why it can't be. They fought for this country, they went to war for our freedom, they protect this country with their lives. The least we can give them is a job. And what better job than to protect our children. There are not enough police officers within the county to do their normal job and also be campus security. Veterans are tactically trained and some better than cops. So to me, the solution seems obvious. This is a group effort. I cannot do this alone. Feel free to add any info or ideas to the discussion. When we all work together, miracles can happen. Let's work together as a team to make our country safe again, one school at a time... USA#1 ����
