We do this with the roll out of Patriot Mission's new program, Small Business Honors. Learn how we will start with one segment of the population, the American Veteran, and start providing honors from Small Business that results in a win-win-win. Win: Small business answers their challenge of how do I extend appreciation? Win - The veteran is informed of the appreciation and engages with the small business. Win - the small business grows generating more revenue for themselves, their employees and tax revenues which intern support the active duty soldiers and sailors. Twenty two million American Veterans is a large chunk to start with, so we will start with a smaller group of veterans: the 7 million surviving veterans of the Vietnam War. Join us!…
