HONORING OUR VETERANS BY SERVING in 2021!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY 2021  

On behalf of the BuyVet team, we honor and recognize our Fathers today!  We thank them for their love and devotion to the family and to the impact they make in the lives of their children.  We also recognize those fathers who lost their lives in the line of duty and will not be able to spend Fathers Day with their families! 

Remember to pray for the families of the fallen, and for each other.  Today, there is a huge void in their lives, make that phone call, send that text message or email.  Please reach out to call your Father, or that special "Father Figure" who has made an impact in your life.  Make that phone call, visit or email, it could mean all the difference in the world to someone.  

Veterans taking care of Veterans, that's what BuyVet is all about.

Creating a Community of Veteran Business Owners

BuyVet is an organization that highlights the significance of veteran-owned businesses. We aim to form a network of veteran entrepreneurs through which they can collaborate and support each other.

We will reach out to the American public, veterans, veteran organizations, and government and federal entities to promote the BuyVet campaign in 2020.

BuyVet Organization

BuyVet is an organization that highlights the significance of veteran-owned businesses (VOBs).  Our aim is to form a network of veteran owned businesses, i.e. a "Vet-Net" through which VOBs can collaborate and share best practices to grow their businesses.    

Our plan is simple.  We will reach out to Veterans, Military and Veteran organizations, federal, state, and local government entities, veteran owned businesses, and the public to promote the BuyVet campaign.  

The WHY?

Why Buy Vet? For years the founder has searched for veteran owned businesses to help with small projects around the house such as plumbing, lawn care, electrical work, and the like without success. It was discovered while searching on some of the larger well known lists that small veteran businesses are not represented there. On most of the lists, you will find the larger more established companies with lots of revenue. On other lists you will find a host of companies that fall within the disabled veteran categories. ALL veterans deserve to be represented on a comprehensive list where they can be found, recognized and where the services they provide are readily available. As a result, here comes Buy Vet. Buy Vet will ensure that all Veteran owned businesses are represented on one comprehensive list, at no cost to the Veteran for this exposure. All Veterans are encouraged to participate in this worth-while event.
