“The efforts of such veteran-focused websites have already resulted in an improved quality of life for thousands of troops,” said Carmen Doherty, senior product director, SmartPost. “We look forward to adding more websites to our network that support the growing desire and need to place our military personnel with top-notch employers using SmartPost.”
