For your "Start a Business" section, add this non-profit! They are amazing, their services are FREE to all Veterans, they have an annual Business Summit (Free to attendees) to help Veterans become a true Certified and Registered Veteran-Owned Business and they are the reason whyy I have been so successful in my own business since departure from the military: https://wherecommunitiesserveveterans.org/
(note - -you mispelled Business as the header ! oops xx ) Thanks, Kelly
