Adjusting to civilian life can be an arduous endeavor for combat veterans, and finding gainful employment is a major factor in the transition. Adam Gonzales is a combat veteran who employed his skills for the private military contractor firm Blackwater. Now, he’s helping other combat veterans connect with employers who can make the most of their skills.
Gonzales, 40, lives in northern Virginia. As a child he was patriotic. He can vividly remember hearing the national anthem before events; reciting the pledge of allegiance before school every morning reinforced his love for America.
