David Nash, who served in the United States Army from 1976 to 1990, is now the head of the Disabled Veterans Outreach Program at BerkshireWorks.
This position is probably one of the most important I have ever held," he said. "Being able to provide a variety of assistance to veterans looking for work or to those who find themselves in dire need. It is being part of the brotherhood of veterans and being able to lend a hand when a brother/sister needs it most.”
