Expert Statements

Bruce Mosler, Chairman of Global Brokerage, Cushman & Wakefield

“As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, we're reminded that the country's strength has always depended on people willing to serve something larger than themselves. Veterans leave the military with experience leading teams, solving problems under pressure and taking responsibility when the stakes are high. Those qualities are increasingly difficult to find and impossible to teach overnight. Creating opportunities for veterans isn't simply a way to honor their service. It's an investment in the future workforce and leadership of this country.”

Matt Disher, Executive Director, Military & Veterans Programs, Cushman & Wakefield

“Much of the conversation today is focused on AI, automation and how technology is reshaping the workforce. What often gets overlooked is that service members have been operating sophisticated technologies, complex systems and mission-critical equipment for years. They understand how to adapt when technology changes because they've been doing it throughout their military careers. As employers look for talent that can learn quickly, solve problems and operate in high-consequence environments, veterans are exceptionally well positioned to help lead that transformation across industries.”

Kayla Lopez, Vice President of Memberships, Military Friendly®

“Earning the Military Friendly® designation is more than a badge; it’s a reflection of deep-rooted values and strategic foresight. These organizations don’t just open doors for veterans, spouses, and service members; they build pathways for lasting impact. Their commitment isn’t performative; it’s transformative. It’s proof that honoring military talent is not only the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do.”
