?? Honoring Our Heroes This Veterans Day ?? Today, we pause to honor the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of our nation's veterans. At VEI, we are proud to support these brave individuals as they embark on their next mission: building successful businesses and creating a lasting impact in our communities. Since 2013, VEI has empowered over 600 veteran entrepreneurs, helping them leverage their unique skills and drive economic growth across our communities. With every cohort, workshop, and mentorship session, we are reminded of the strength and dedication our veterans bring—not only to their country but also to the entrepreneurial world. Our VEI community stands as a powerful testament to what’s possible when veterans come together with a shared mission. It’s a community built on trust, shared experiences, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Together, we’re not just creating businesses; we’re building a network of support that strengthens each veteran’s journey to success. On this Veterans Day, we salute those who have served and continue to serve, now as innovators and leaders in business. Thank you for your service, your commitment, and your continued contributions. ?????? ?? Join us in supporting veteran entrepreneurs and learn how you can make an impact today.
