We Love These Veteran Owned and Operated Businesses in New Hampshire

Let's face it, it takes a special and selfless kind of person to serve our country. Veterans are among the most dedicated and skilled individuals in our society. After serving our country and many times enduring challenging and dangerous conditions, many vets return to civilian life and face huge hurdles as they attempt to reintegrate into the workforce.

This is why supporting and employing veterans is of the upmost importance.

Honoring Their Service

First and foremost, veterans have given their time, energy, and, in many cases, their health to serve our country. When you provide meaningful employment opportunities or support a veteran owned business this is one of the most impactful ways to honor that service. It acknowledges their sacrifices while also helping them transition back to society and regain their sense of purpose and financial stability.

The Valuable and Undeniable Skills and Experience Veterans Bring

Veterans acquire a unique set of skills during their service that can greatly enhance the workforce. That can come in many forms such as technical expertise gained in the military, leadership abilities, or strong work ethic and adaptability that military service requires. They are trained to think critically, work as part of a team, and perform well under pressure — these are valuable qualities in literally any industry.

Reducing the Veteran Unemployment Gap

Despite the wealth of skills veterans offer, the transition from military service to civilian employment can be difficult for so many veterans. That just feels wrong to me. These people make the ultimate sacrifice to our country and then struggle to find employment? There is something very wrong with that picture. According to recent statistics, the unemployment rate for veterans can be higher than the national average. Some veterans face challenges in translating their military experience into civilian job qualifications, while others struggle with the mental and emotional toll of their service.

Building Stronger Communities

Did you know employed veterans are more likely to contribute to their local economies, support their families, and engage in volunteer work? Therefore when veterans succeed it benefits the entire community not just the individual.

The state of New Hampshire takes great pride in it's veteran owned and operated businesses. If you have the opportunity to support one, please do so! It is imperative that we continue to prioritize the well-being of those who have sacrificed so much in defense of our freedoms.
