That’s one reason why we’re excited that Boots2Roots is helping to bring veterans and their families to Maine. These women and men are motivated, disciplined and talented. We also are confident they will bring to their new jobs the culture of teamwork and safety that they learned in the military. Maine’s future is looking just that much brighter with Boots2Roots.”
