selves and their families.
One of the hires made by the Hobson companies
is Daniel “Doc” Jacobs. He helps with recruiting other
veterans and telling them about the benefits of pursuing
a trade education at the Perfect Technician Academy.
Jacobs is a Navy veteran who was wounded during a
deployment in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2005. His gun truck was
struck by an I.E.D. and Jacobs lost his left leg below the
knee, three toes from his right
foot, and three partial fingers
from his left hand. He didn’t
let his injury stop him; after
two years he returned to the
Fleet Marine Force and was
the first ever to be assigned to
an infantry unit. Post injury,
he has run 17 marathons and
tried out for three different
major league baseball teams.
His foundation funds sports
scholarships for children of
military and veteran families
to make the sports dreams of
others come true.
Part of their pledge for
hiring veterans reads: “We
appreciate the values, lead-
ership and unique skills
service members bring to the
workforce and will encourage opportunities to employ
Guardsmen, Reservists, transitioning Service members
and Veterans. We will continually recognize and support
our country’s Service members and their families in
peace, in crisis, and in war.”
Hobson has gone above and beyond that pledge in
their hiring of local veterans. The signing ceremony was
held last month in Washington DC at the Pentagon.
