Payne launched a special on Wednesday to share his best advice for veterans on how to invest, find a job that fits and become re-accustomed to civilian life. Guests like radio host and career coach Ken Coleman offered tips on how to boost a resume and Marine vet Johnny Joey Jones weighed in on achieving the most after serving the country.

Payne remembered his own veteran father and other heroes who have sacrificed their lives for the welfare of the nation and reminded that all of America should operate as one union regardless of politics or military status.
