NEW YORK CITY—Having graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, Robert Vicci holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. His 34-year career in the military as an infantry officer and army aviator includes service in Iraq for which he was awarded a Bronze Star.

Vicci is a volunteer CEO of VetREST, a 501(c)(3) charity working with veterans struggling with PTSD and their families to reduce suicides. In 2018, the Department of Veteran Affairs reported an average of 20 veterans a day died by suicide. He also says a big component of helping veterans transition to civilian life is finding meaningful work.
