For many of our newest veterans, the one thing they really want this Veterans Day is a job.
Overall, the current unemployment rate for veterans of all ages is 6.3 percent - well below the national average.
But for the youngest veterans - those who enlisted after the September 11 terror attacks - the rate is just under 10 percent.
The Department of Veterans Affairs says that number - 9.7 percent - must be taken in a broader context. The VA says the unemployment rate for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans used to be much worse and over the course of the last year has begun a slow but definite decline.

If they look half decent and won't flip out and shoot somebody they can get a sugar daddy.
