A Legacy Reimagined: The Historical Foundations and Future Vision of National Invest In America Week℠
More than fifty years later, that same spirit has been reimagined and scaled through the Jeff Shuford Roadmap℠, under the stewardship of the team behind National Invest In Veterans Week®. Recognized in the U.S. Congressional Record, National Invest In Veterans Week® laid the structural foundation for a broader civic and economic mobilization—culminating in the establishment of National Invest In America Week℠.
“I'm Beau, Emmy Award-winning journalist and television host.
Every year, from March 1st to 7th, we celebrate National Invest In Veterans Week—a time to honor the incredible men and women who've served our country and now drive our economy forward as entrepreneurs.
Veteran-owned businesses employ millions and generate over a trillion dollars in revenue. They're innovators, leaders, and job creators who deserve our investment.
Let's invest in them: Shop veteran-owned. Partner with veterans. Ask your local legislators to honor local veteran entrepreneurs.
Because when we invest in veterans, we invest in America's future.
Join the movement at InvestInVeteransWeek.com.
Thank you for your service—and a salute to those who are investing in it.”
