Marine Corps veteran launches site to help fellow vets find work

AURORA | An area veteran has launched a new website aimed at helping local vets find work, be it temporary, part time or full time.

Brad Gallup, who served in the United States Marine Corps. and the U.S. Air Force before retiring as an Air Force major in 2003, launched the website, colorado.hirepatriots.com a couple months ago.

The site is similar to a website in California that Gallup said has had success helping vets find work and helping employers find good workers.

The website is similar to craigslist.org. People who have a job opening, or need help with a one-time job such as yard work or home repairs, post an ad on the job board and area veterans can contact them.

Gallup said he hopes the site helps some veterans who may be struggling with the transition from military life to civilian life.
