With nearly 19 million veterans in the United States, their service expertise is often seen as an asset in civilian jobs. But there are relatively few veterans working in the halls of Congress. According to HillVets.org less than 2 percent of staffers working on Capitol Hill are veterans.

Justin Brown, a Navy veteran and a senior Committee staffer says he wants to change that dynamic. He is the founder of a bipartisan organization, HillVets.
