5 Ways How Small Business Owners Can Celebrate Veteran’s Day

“And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men

who died, who gave that right to me”

You must have heard this greatest song written and composed by Greenwood. If you’ve, then

you’d agree to the fact that we take many things for granted including freedom, and often fail

to appreciate the sacrifices of the veterans who’ve served and those who are serving our nation

to protect its integrity and freedom.

With Veteran’s Day soon approaching, you can take this opportunity to express gratitude, and

honor the veterans.

And, if you are a small business owner, here are few ideas how you can pay respect to veterans

and celebrate this Veteran’s Day:

1. Offer them discount on services

Make the veterans feel special by giving them discount on the services or the products that you

offer. If you own a restaurant, you can thank the former or active veterans by offering them

discounts or by giving them a free meal.

2. Help them start a business

Most ex-veterans and particularly those, who’ve lost their limbs and became disabled during

war, usually lead a life of struggle. If you can help them lead a self-sufficient life by informing

them about franchisors that assist veterans become entrepreneurs, then it would be a true

tribute to them.

3. Support the business owned by a veteran

If you know of veterans living in your neighborhood and running a business, then you can help

them promote their business or mentor them.

4. Ask them to call you if they need help

A majority of veterans are above the age of 65; you can call them and give your number or give

them the number of veteran help centers to call, if they need any help.

5. Arrange a Get together/appreciation dinner

You can show your appreciation and support to veterans by organizing a dinner party and

inviting them over.

We at ArtworkServicesUSA express our heartfelt appreciation to all those men and women

who’ve served our great country.

As a reminder of their sacrifices we leave you with the trailer of the award winning

documentary “Honor Flight” that has inspired millions. It is a story of four World War II veterans

and a Midwest. Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM_XBIWCfNg.
