Default Veterans... and business and entrepreneurship...

Veterans Day... The day we make sure to think of and thank those who have fought for our country, and it is definitely to them that we owe many of the freedoms that we take for granted...

I know we have a number of veterans here... Gordon Jay Alexander (who co-founded this forum) is himself one...

There are a number of resources for veterans, who want to start a business, or are already running one...

Here are some of them (generally from the US government)...

There's the "Center for Veterans Enterprise" program, through the US Dept. of Veteran Affairs, which can help you with starting a business, and other matters...

http://www.vetbiz.gov

There's also the US Small Business Administration's Office of Veterans Business Development...

http://www.sba.gov/vets/

SCORE also provides help to aspiring veteran entrepreneurs as well...

http://www.score.org/veteran.html

Further help can be found from the Veterans Corporation...

http://www.veteranscorp.org

... and from Military.com ...

http://business.military.com/veteran/

There are also listings of veteran-owned businesses. Here are some of them...

http://www.veteranownedbusiness.com

http://www.vetfriends.com/veteran-business-directory/

http://www.vetbizassist.org

http://www.usveteransdirectory.com

One thing you can do is go through the various businesses listed at the links above - if you are a veteran yourself, to see what others are doing, and if you're not, to find a veteran-owned businesses in your area which you can give business to.

It's good to remember those who have protected our freedoms... I'm grateful...

Thank you!

Best wishes,

Dien
