Jobs were being offered and both current and previous members of the armed service came in droves to submit their resumes and discuss employment opportunities. Early July 12^th, the doors to the luxury level seating opened and this Country’s true Patriots were extended a warm welcome as they rode the escalator to the job fair located on the mezzanine level. There, with the playing field as a visual backdrop, perspective employees talked directly with Human Resource Directors as they contemplated their next career move.

The Massachusetts ESGR Committee was also present and took the opportunity to explain the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) to both Employers and Service Members. Several employers took the opportunity to sign a Statement of Support.

One of the firms looking to hire more qualified individuals with military experience and values was BioDefense Corporation, a leader in developing and fielding Bio-Terrorism defense systems. One BioDefense Corporation employee working the company booth at Gillette was SFC Walter Guertin, a citizen soldier with the Army Reserves. BioDefense Corporations’ CEO & Chairman proudly signed a Statement of Support and then posed with other employees in front of a company vehicle.
