Quote: There are similar programs for veterans in St. Louis and Augusta, Ga. They started in 2009, the brainchild of Michael "Sonny" Trimble, an archaeologist with the Corps of Engineers who spent three years in Iraq working to uncover mass graves. In that time, he got very close to the U.S. soldiers who kept his team safe.
"When I came back here, I really felt kind of frustrated," Sonny told me during a phone interview. "I wanted to do something to help them out."
The program is funded by federal stimulus money. Students receive an hourly wage - they're processing records, after all - and training that, it's hoped, will transfer to even non-archaeological jobs: records management, database support, forensics. Sessions cover topics including resume writing and job hunting. Thirty-one of the program's 77 participants have either found work or started earning a degree.
