From cleaning bathrooms to running a National Cemetery
Before
Navy Veteran Victor Vasquez became the director of Santa Fe and Fort
Bayard National Cemeteries in New Mexico, he was cleaning bathrooms and
emptying trash cans at a VA clinic.
It
all started when he lost his job as a software project manager. He
turned to the Compensated Work Therapy Program at the El Paso VA for
readjustment help.
“I was going through a lot of turmoil,” said Vasquez. “It’s a great program. It changed my life and led me to where I am today.”
