At Work for Warriors Mississippi, our mission is simple but powerful: to help veterans, service members, and their families find meaningful careers. However, we often hear statements like, “I thought it was only for the National Guard,” or, “I didn’t know you served other branches.” These misconceptions are common, and we want to take this opportunity to clarify that our program proudly serves all members of the military—past and present—across every branch.
