JPMorgan Chase (JPM: 44.04 -1.37%) appointed five members to its military and veterans affairs advisory council for designing mortgage programs and products for service members and their families.


Among the appointees is Roger Staubach, a Navy veteran and former quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys from 1969 to 1979. Staubach also currently works with commercial real estate manger Jones Lang LaSalle.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former commander of the armed forces in Afghanistan, will also join the board. Veterans Leban Jackson, Brenda Hall and Col. Michael Canders will join them.

This group understands the emotional and financial hardships our military, veterans, and families endure during deployments and going on and off active duty."
