Suits for soldiers set them up for success

Their plan is to keep this going. If you have anything you'd like to donate, take it to a Public Service Credit Union, tell them it's for Suit for Soldiers.

Big companies catch a lot of flak for doing bad things. They deserve to get that same attention for the good things they do, too.

Public Service Credit Union is a $2.3 billion organization but that didn't matter on Friday. Their community outreach team was focused on the veterans who need a little boost.

Hundreds of suits, accessories and shoes were available for veterans today - all for free. Almost 160 veterans have taken advantage of this opportunity, including Donell Jones or "DD."

Malcom Johnson is leading the Suits for Soldiers.

"I had a veteran come by yesterday, he grabbed a few suits and things and before he left, he came over and you can tell he was a little choked up and he wanted to thank me for having this event," said Johnson.

The unemployment rate for Colorado's veterans is nearly 6 percent - double the overall rate. That's also higher than the national unemployment rate for veterans.

As a part of the free makeover, Public Service Credit Union also had free resume and interview training.
