Uniting Veterans: The Nationwide Initiative Powering Entrepreneurial Success
Introduction
Lonnell McCall II Leads as the Voice of National Invest In Veterans Week
Invest In Veterans Week is revolutionizing veteran support through a comprehensive, unified approach. By consolidating state-specific veteran resources into a central hub, this initiative significantly extends its reach and effectiveness, ensuring that veterans across the nation have equal access to essential tools, support, and community engagement opportunities.
Unified Access: A Central Hub for Nationwide Resources
Invest In Veterans Week has established a centralized platform where veterans from any state can access a vast array of resources tailored to their entrepreneurial and personal development needs. This unified approach guarantees that all veterans, regardless of their location, have equitable access to these opportunities.
From State to National: A Seamless Resource Network
LouisianaVeterans.com and Beyond: Veterans from Louisiana, Kansas, Rhode Island, and beyond now visit the central Invest In Veterans Week site for resources. This hub provides everything from local news and entrepreneurial insights to success stories and networking opportunities, services that were previously dispersed across various state-specific sites like KansasVeterans.com and RhodeIslandVeterans.com.
Expanding Reach: This centralization also includes resources for states like Delaware, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina, transforming how veterans access information and connect with one another. Regardless of their location, veterans can find resources specifically designed to help them succeed in diverse industries and community settings.
Spotlighting Success: Nationwide Veteran Entrepreneur Stories
With resources and stories centralized, Invest In Veterans Week is able to showcase successful veteran entrepreneurs from across the country in one accessible location. This collective storytelling not only serves to inspire but also educates other veterans about the potential paths and strategies for success in their own entrepreneurial journeys.
Enhanced Support and Streamlined Connections
The centralized platform simplifies the way veterans connect with resources and each other, enhancing the support network available to them. It facilitates streamlined communication and resource sharing across state lines, ensuring that all veterans receive the most effective support tailored to their specific needs.
A Call to Action: Engage with Our Unified Platform
Invest In Veterans Week encourages veterans and their supporters to engage with this unified platform, where they can access a consolidated array of resources, participate in community discussions, and forge connections with other veterans. This centralized approach not only simplifies access but also strengthens the community of veteran entrepreneurs by fostering a nationwide network of support and collaboration.
Conclusion
The transition to a centralized platform is a significant evolution in how veteran support is administered, enhancing inclusivity and accessibility. Invest In Veterans Week continues to serve as a beacon of hope and support for veterans across the United States, now with an even greater capacity to empower, educate, and unite veterans in their post-service lives.

NATIONAL INVEST IN VETERANS WEEK STARTS TOMORROW Endorsed by Longtime Supporter Barbara Weltman
National Invest In Veterans Week® (March 1-7, 2024) honors the entrepreneurial achievements of veterans, providing valuable resources and global support. With the continued endorsement of Barbara Weltman, and led by co-founder Jeff Shuford, the initiative has expanded its digital infrastructure to include veteran-focused platforms across the U.S. and internationally, fostering a comprehensive support network for veteran-owned businesses.
National Invest In Veterans Week® (NIVW) is set to begin tomorrow, March 1-7, 2024, in recognition of the contributions made by military veterans who have transitioned into the business world. With over 1.9 million veteran-owned businesses across the U.S., as reported by the SBA’s Office of Advocacy, NIVW continues its mission to empower, promote, and advocate for veteran entrepreneurs. Longtime supporter Barbara Weltman continues to endorse NIVW’s efforts, helping expand the impact of this congressionally honored initiative.
NIVW is proud to showcase the global expansion of its digital infrastructure, now providing veteran-focused resources through a comprehensive network of domains. This expansion includes platforms that serve veterans locally in the U.S. and across the globe, allowing veteran-owned businesses to connect and thrive in their respective regions.
Drayton Florence, former NFL player and co-founder of NIVW, emphasized the importance of these initiatives:
“Veterans possess leadership, discipline, and resilience—all qualities that make them successful in business. National Invest In Veterans Week is about giving them the recognition, support, and tools they need to excel in the civilian world.”
Jeff Shuford, founder of NIVW and nationally syndicated columnist, highlighted the importance of veteran-owned businesses to the global economy:
“Our veterans have served our nation with courage and dedication. Now, through our digital platforms and resources, we are serving them by providing the tools they need to thrive in the entrepreneurial world.”
Shuford draws inspiration from his Grammy Hall of Fame grandfather, Jim Freeman of The Five Satins, who was entered into the Congressional Record for his musical achievements. Shuford shared,
“My grandfather’s journey taught me the value of resilience and perseverance. It’s that same spirit of determination that I see in veteran entrepreneurs today, and I’m proud to build platforms that support them.”
