MAYOR
The Honorable Troy J. Piland
102 North Moss Road
Winter Springs, Florida 32707
Dear Mayor Piland:
In response to President Carter's challenge, the City of
Orlando, Florida in cooperation with the National Alliance
of Businessmen, actively has been finding jobs for some of
the over 3,500 unemployed Vietnam Era Veterans in Central
Florida. To this end, a Mayor's Veterans' Employment Task
Force was appointed consisting of representatives from the
business and governmental sectors of the Community.
To date over 422 veterans and 38 disabled veterans have been
placed in jobs as a result of the Task Force's efforts. On
April 25, 1978, the principal event of this group's efforts
will be held. Designated as "Hire A Vietnam Veteran Day"
this event will be held in Exposition Park in Downtown
Orlando. Employers with present and future job openings
will meet with veterans for the purposes of employment.
We would appreciate it if you and your City Council would
proclaim April 25, 1978, as "Hire A Vietnam Veteran Day" in
your City. We feel that the support of everyone in Central
Florida is needed to assist these young men in becoming
productive citizens in our communities.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
~
Carl T. Langford
Mayor
