From Marine Corps camaraderie to veteran entrepreneurship.

Marine Corps veteran Mike Tucker is bringing military humor and camaraderie to the civilian world through his new business, Cannoneer Apparel.

What started with military-inspired T-shirts has grown into a bigger vision: creating a community where veterans can reconnect, find resources and support one another.

ā€œIā€™m not looking to get rich. Iā€™m looking to build a community and help veterans.ā€

Today, Veteran Business Project recognizes the Veterans Of Foreign Wars (VFW) and the veterans who continue to serve their communities long after their military service.

The VFW has long provided veterans with a place to connect, advocate, support one another, and continue their mission of service.

At Veteran Business Project, weā€™re proud to support veterans as they take on their next missionā€”business ownership.

Thank you to all who have served, and to the organizations that continue to stand beside them.

Plus, 25 finalists will each receive a $1,000 grant from the $25,000 national fund, with access to Founders First funding readiness and capital resources.
