Becoming a leader, working with people from different backgrounds, and growing up are among the top lessons veterans have taken away from their military service.

During the month of November, CUNA News is sharing stories of people in the credit union movement who have served in the military and how those experiences have shaped their credit union careers in A Salute to Veterans, sponsored by FIS.

In this episode of the CUNA News Podcast, seven veterans share the lessons they learned in the military that have been useful in their credit unions careers.
