Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Marine Veteran Jessica Nelson. Jessica spent two years in college and woke up one day realizing that it wasn’t a good fit, so she joined the military. Now, back in civilian life, Jessica has since finished college, got her degree and is helping other Veterans make the hard transition from military life to the the classroom life. It’s this drive and desire to help that landed her on the board of directors of the national Warrior-Scholar Project. Warrior-Scholar Project gives enlisted veterans and service members the tools to excel at four-year universities. Through intensive one- to two-week academic boot camps, participants acquire skills necessary for the cultural shift from the military to higher education. Jessica said the program was a key to her success. Congratulations on
