Operation Encore, a collaboration of singer-songwriters from across the military and veteran communities, today celebrates the official release of a compilation album of 16 original songs written and sung by 11 active duty military members, veterans, and military spouses.

Operation Encore’s goal is to raise awareness, understanding, and funds for veteran issues. through the unifying power of music.

Today's veterans face numerous obstacles in their path to attaining a college degree. These challenges range from a missing sense of camaraderie to feeling like an outsider amongst 18 year-old traditional students to a lack of understanding by university faculty. When coupled with the visible and invisible wounds of war, a college degree can be an elusive goal for men and women returning from military service. Student Veterans of America (SVA) makes that goal a reality.

Citi has built a strong record in leading the effort to support military personnel and their families—and especially to hire veterans in key positions throughout the company. Citi currently employs more than 2,300 military-experienced colleagues.

Citi has a dedicated recruiting effort specifically to help find jobs for transitioning military personnel and their families. Citi's commitment to veterans is ingrained in their culture, coming from the very top of the company.
