JULY MONTHLY THEMES
By Ryan Streater
Independence Day
Independence Day is observed annually on 4th July to commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the birth of the United States as an independent nation. This national observance honors the courage, sacrifice and vision of those who helped establish the principles of freedom, liberty and self-governance. It also serves as a time for Americans to reflect on the responsibilities that come with citizenship and the continued importance of unity, service and patriotism. Across the country, communities celebrate Independence Day through ceremonies, parades, patriotic events and gatherings that recognize the Nation's history and enduring commitment to freedom.
National Hire a Veteran Day
National Hire a Veteran Day is observed annually on 25th July to encourage employers to recognize the skills, experience, and leadership Veterans bring to the civilian workforce. Veterans often possess valuable qualities such as discipline, adaptability, teamwork, problem-solving, and a strong commitment to mission accomplishment. This observance highlights the importance of supporting Veterans as they transition from military service into meaningful civilian careers. It also serves as a reminder that hiring Veterans strengthens organizations, communities, and the Nation by connecting experienced military talent with long-term employment opportunities. PaYS is an excellent resource for Veteran employment, helping to bridge the gap between military experience and rewarding civilian careers.
CELEBRATING 250 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
By Roy Kidwell
As communities across the country prepare for this once in a generation celebration, Army PaYS partners and the U.S. Army are helping commemorate the occasion through patriotic events, community engagement, and continued support for Soldiers and Veterans. Together, these efforts reflect the enduring spirit of service, leadership, and commitment that have helped define our nation for 250 years.
One notable Army PaYS newest partner participating is the State of North Dakota. Through its ND250 initiative, communities across the state are participating in events that honor America's founding and recognize the contributions of those who continue to serve their communities today. A highlight of the celebration will be the grand opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora on July 4, 2026. The event will feature patriotic festivities throughout the weekend, culminating in a 1,776-drone aerial show celebrating America's 250th Anniversary and honoring the legacy of one of the nation's most influential leaders.

The home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) will host a July 4th festival for military families and the public featuring The Legend of Charlie Daniels Tribute Concert with special guests Aaron Tippin, Eric Lee Beddingfield, and the 101st Airborne Division Band. Expected to draw more than 100,000 attendees, the event highlights the Army's continued connection to communities across the nation while celebrating America's 250th Anniversary.
Several Army PaYS partners are also sponsoring America250, the national initiative celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the United States. These partners include The Coca-Cola Company, Amazon, Cisco, Comcast, Boeing, JPMorgan Chase, and Lockheed Martin.
As America celebrates 250 years of independence, the Army PaYS Program proudly recognizes the employers, government agencies, and organizations that continue to support Soldiers, Veterans, and their Families. Their commitment to creating opportunities for those who have served reflects the same spirit of service and dedication that has helped define our nation since 1776.
Happy 250th Anniversary, America.

FROM ARMY SERVICE TO STOCKTON SERVICE: OFFICER JASON ROZAL'S JOURNEY TO THE BADGE
By Alfredo Harris
Jason Rozal's journey from enlisted Soldier to commissioned Army officer and ultimately to law enforcement highlights how military service can open doors far beyond the uniform. Jason served as a combat medic (68W), earned his degree, and completed ROTC to become an officer before transitioning into civilian life through the Army PaYS program, which helped connect him to a career with the Stockton Police Department. His story reflects the value of preparation, adaptability, and the lasting skills Soldiers carry into high responsibility fields like public safety.
Jason enlisted in the Army in 2010 as a combat medic. "Joining the Army was something I always wanted to do since I had family members who served," he said. "I needed some guidance and structure for my future." He did not stop at enlistment. Over time, Rozal returned to school, earned his bachelor's degree, and earned his commission through Reserve Officers Training Corps, turning what started as a practical decision into a full military career as an officer.
Jason was first introduced to Army PaYS while working toward his degree and attending a resume seminar, then encountered the program again while out-processing from a later deployment. The experience left a lasting impression. "I think the program is a great way for Soldiers to get their foot in the door to some amazing opportunities," he said. After separating from the Army, Jason registered for Army PaYS, applied to the Stockton Police Department and never looked back. The transition into law enforcement felt natural, as the rank structure, policies, procedures and culture of accountability closely reflected his military background.
The skills he developed in uniform continued to serve him once on the job. Making quick decisions under pressure, managing competing priorities, working through Soldier issues; those same abilities translate directly to the demands of patrol work. Physical fitness, a non-negotiable in the Army, remained an asset as well. For the former Army officer, it was less of a learning curve and more of a strong foundation to build on.
His advice for Soldiers preparing to transition is straightforward: set goals that are both realistic and achievable, invest in your network early, and trust that the hard things you have already been through have prepared you more than you realize. "Transitioning from the Army to civilian life can be difficult, but it is not impossible," Jason said. "The stressors you experienced in the military have likely prepared you to handle any adversity."
The Stockton Police Department is proof that the right partner makes all the difference. By actively welcoming Veterans into their ranks, they are not just filling positions. They are investing in people who have already proven they can perform when it counts."

I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such dedicated Leaders and professionals and to support Soldiers, Veterans, and their Families.

I leave knowing this mission is in exceptional hands. Keep leading with purpose, taking care of people, and remembering that our impact extends far beyond a Soldier's time in uniform. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this amazing team. Once a Soldier, Always a Soldier, Soldier for life! - COL Frazier
The PaYS Team is genuinely sorry to see you go, but excited about the opportunities that await you in your new assignments. We do not doubt that you will excel in your future endeavors, just as you have done with us. Please keep in touch and know that PaYS will continue to provide support to Soldiers.

STATESBORO JOINS THE U.S. ARMY PaYS PROGRAM
Article and photo credit: City of Statesboro
https://www.statesboroga.gov/news/ Jun 4, 2026
The City of Statesboro is stepping up to support America's service members as they transition from military service to civilian careers.
During Tuesday's City Council meeting, municipal leaders hosted a ceremonial signing to officially launch a strategic partnership with the United States Army's Partnership for Your Success (PaYS) program. Through this agreement, the City of Statesboro joins a select cross-section of public sector agencies and corporations nationwide dedicated to creating direct career pathways for veterans and active personnel.
About the PaYS Program
Established in 2000, the PaYS program is an initiative designed to reconnect communities with the military by partnering with businesses and local governments. The program allows service members to fulfill their military obligations while simultaneously preparing for long-term professional futures.
As an official PaYS partner, the City of Statesboro guarantees participating soldiers a job interview and consideration for permanent employment upon completion of their service. While the program initially began for Regular Army enlistees, it has expanded to support Army Reservists, the Army National Guard, and ROTC cadets.
A Joint Commitment to Leadership
The partnership was presented to the council by Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Craig A. Henderson, Commander of the Georgia Army National Guard Recruiting and Retention Battalion. LTC Henderson highlighted how the program successfully aligns the advanced skills acquired during military training with the operational needs of local municipal departments.
Mayor Jonathan McCollar addressed the assembly, emphasizing the city's dedication to supporting those who serve.
"My grandmother taught me that if you want to get far in life, you help someone, and I believe our military branches embrace that," Mayor McCollar stated during the ceremony. "Through this partnership, what the City of Statesboro wants to say is not only 'thank you,' but we want to stand beside you in every step of your soldier's journey. We're going to support them 100% because that's who we are."
Strategic Value for the Community
This partnership serves as a mutually beneficial initiative for both the City of Statesboro and regional service members. The U.S. Army equips individuals with rigorous technical training, leadership capability, and a strong sense of civic duty. By participating in the PaYS program, the City of Statesboro can retain this highly disciplined talent pool within the local workforce.
Concurrently, the agreement provides crucial structural support to service members, reducing the vocational hurdles often associated with transitioning back into civilian life.
The City of Statesboro is proud to collaborate with the U.S. Army PaYS program and looks forward to integrating the expertise of our nation's service members into the city's workforce.
