Patriotism is alive and well in America. Everyone, regardless of political background, supports the military during holidays and when we see them in uniform. Veterans are highly regarded on special days. We should celebrate these men and women who go overseas to serve their country. We often forget that when they come home, these veterans often go unacknowledged in their everyday lives. Support veteran-owned businesses today.

Buy From Veteran-Owned Businesses

Support veterans who own businesses by buying from them. You may have to do some research to find veteran-owned businesses in your area. When you’re traveling, look for businesses owned by veterans. The BuyVeteran website is a good place to start, but Google has added a feature to its search engine to identify businesses owned by veterans.

Hire Veterans

The military training that vets received makes them some of the most valuable employees you’ll ever have. You may even get tax credits for hiring veterans. VetJobs.com is a great place to advertise for vets. Hiring men and women who served shows your support for their dedication.

Mentor Veterans

A lot of veterans aren’t going to be content working for someone else. Show your support to our veterans by mentoring them along their entrepreneurial journey. SCORE, a program of the SBA, offers formal mentorship programs, but they aren’t the only ones. Help veterans find resources that will let them build the business of their own dreams.

Create a Guide of Local Businesses that Are Veteran Owned

Help veterans by providing a list of businesses for others in the community who want to support veterans. Maybe host a local gathering for these businesses to give them a sense of community. Working together can help entrepreneurs be more successful.
