Pensacola, Fla. (November 15, 2022) –  LifeView Group, parent company of Global Connections to Employment, has been awarded the Military Friendly Employer (MFE) designation, signifying its commitment to the military and veteran community from hiring to career advancement and customer service.

LifeView Group supports veterans and their families through its three affiliates:
