Remembering Sacrifice, Supporting Veterans
Why Memorial Day Is Also a Time to Empower Veteran-Owned Businesses
Every Memorial Day, we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. It’s a moment of deep reflection, honor, and national gratitude.
But as we remember the fallen, we also recognize those who continue to serve — not on the battlefield, but in boardrooms, warehouses, and job sites across the country. Veteran entrepreneurs are taking the values they lived in uniform — discipline, leadership, commitment — and using them to build businesses that power local economies and support American innovation.
Veteran-Owned Businesses: Serving in a New Way
Today, there are over 1.9 million veteran-owned businesses in the U.S., spanning industries like logistics, trucking, construction, consulting, tech, and more. These businesses generate billions in revenue each year and are responsible for creating thousands of jobs.
But beyond the numbers, their stories matter: many veteran business owners are driven by a new mission — to continue making a difference through entrepreneurship.
When veterans transition into business ownership, they bring with them excellence, leadership, and a mission-first mindset. But to access the full range of government opportunities available to them, certification is key.
Getting certified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) or Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) unlocks important advantages, including:
Access to set-aside contracts across federal agencies, specifically reserved for veteran-owned businesses
Eligibility for sole-source awards, particularly from high-priority agencies like the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs
Increased visibility in federal supplier databases, helping buyers meet veteran participation goals
It’s more than just a label — it’s a strategic tool to help veterans compete and win in the government contracting space.
