To The United States Senate Committee On Veterans Affairs

Wednesday November 18, 2009


Chairman Akaka, Ranking Member Burr, and distinguished members of the United States Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, good morning.

On behalf of America Works of New York, Inc. Chief Executive Officer Dr. Lee Bowes and Founder Mr. Peter Cove, I would like to express our gratitude for the opportunity to be here today to address the United States Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs about our Veterans Employment Programs.

My name is Captain Pete Wikul. I served thirty nine years in the United States Navy. I was known as the “Bullfrog” which is a title used to refer to the longest serving US Navy SEAL on active duty. I recently retired on October 1st. In 1988 I was honored to share the Nobel Peace Prize as one of the few US Naval Officers assigned as a United Nations Military Observer in Lebanon. I am here today as Director for America Works Veterans’ Programs.
