"Drayton Florence, a former National Football League cornerback and veteran, and Jeff Shuford, an Iraq war veteran, founded National Invest in Veterans Week in 2019. The week was meant to bring special attention to veteran-owned businesses by buying from them, calling them out on social media, nurturing startups and supporting them in a range of other ways.
There are 2.4 million firms owned by veterans in America, and these businesses employ 5.8 million individuals, according to the official website for National Invest in Veterans Week. Military experience is strongly correlated with entrepreneurship, likely because the armed forces teach values such as responsibility and self-discipline."

"Today, I rise to celebrate this week as Invest in Veterans Week, as proclaimed by Montana Governor Gianforte. Currently, nearly 9% of the Treasure State‘s population is made up of veterans. There are over 78,000 veterans in Montana, the fifth-highest population of veterans per capita of any state. It‘s truly an honor and a privilege to represent a state so deeply rooted in military history. Businesses owned by veterans employ over 5 million people and generate over $1 trillion in revenue annually. Whether that be through storing their own farm ranch or small business, many of our nation‘s heroes come home to their families and communities ready and eager to find ways they can continue to benefit and serve our communities. By investing in our veterans, we‘re able to provide them with the resources that they need to continue to use their exceptional talents and skills that benefit all of us investing in our veterans should not be limited to just this week, but it should be our mission all year round. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker; I yield back."
Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02), took to the House Floor to honor our veterans and recognize Governor Gianforte’s Invest in Veterans Week initiative.

"This week is National Invest in Veterans Week. Serving our nation is an investment that men and women in uniform make not only for their own future but for the well-being of our country as well. They willingly leave behind their loved ones and livelihoods to fight and protect our nation on the battlefield. Just as these veterans invest in us and our safety, we must likewise invest in the veterans who have sacrificed so much for the greater good.
Unfortunately, many of these courageous individuals return home from war with new physical challenges. That’s why I’m thrilled that the Service-Disabled Veteran Opportunities in Small Business Act recently passed the House of Representatives by a unanimous vote.
This significant legislation mandates that the federal government issue guidance aimed at helping service-disabled veteran owned small businesses. By doing so, this bill will help create opportunities for veterans to establish and grow new businesses – once again giving back to their communities and our country.
Moving forward, I will keep working to contribute to the success of America’s veterans by supporting initiatives like the Service-Disabled Veteran Opportunities in Small Business Act."

NATIONAL INVEST IN VETERANS WEEK National Invest In Veterans Week is observed each year from March 1 through March 7. During the week, we honor aspiring and established veteran business owners and their contributions to the economy.
According to the Small Business Administration, small business firms owned by veterans employed 5.03 million people, had an annual payroll of $195 billion and receipts of $1.14 trillion. Representing only 9.1 percent of all U.S. businesses, veterans have an unquestionable invaluable impact on economic ecosystems nationwide.

"First and foremost, veteran-owned businesses are often a source of employment for other veterans. By investing in veteran-owned businesses, we can help these businesses grow and create more jobs for fellow veterans. This not only gives veterans a chance to gain meaningful employment, but also helps to reduce veteran unemployment rates.
In addition, veteran-owned businesses are often more successful than non-veteran businesses. This is due in part to the valuable skills that veterans bring to the table. Veterans are often highly trained in areas such as leadership, decision-making, and problem-solving, all of which are invaluable in the business world.
Finally, investing in veteran-owned businesses is also good for the economy as a whole. Veteran-owned businesses are often more innovative than non-veteran businesses, which can lead to new products and services that can benefit consumers. In addition, veteran-owned businesses often have higher levels of customer satisfaction, which can lead to increased revenue and a better overall economy.
This National Invest In Veterans Week, Action Zone will be partnering with some local VOB and non-profit organizations to highlight their mission and recognize the hard work and dedication of their businesses. By investing in these businesses, we can help to create jobs for veterans, boost the economy, and ensure that the contributions of our veterans are not forgotten."
