Web portal Warrior Gateway helps digital-age vets
NEW YORK — For young veterans returning from duty in Iraq or Afghanistan, the process of re-entering society can be daunting.
A new website wants to help these warriors find the services they need in an environment they are comfortable in: the Internet.
The executive director of Warrior Gateway, Devin Holmes, says there are a lot of resources out there for veterans. But until now, no one has organized it all onto one easily searchable website.
The site is free for veterans, their families, friends and caretakers. It lets users search for services based on a broad range of categories such as geography, eligibility and even Yelp-inspired user ratings.
