We are always eager to celebrate our members and shine a light on their businesses. But, on Veteran’s Day we get to celebrate a certain business sector that receives our highest regard. Featuring them is not only our pleasure, but an honor.
There are countless ways to thank and honor American military veterans, but one way you can show you care is to use your dollars. We encourage you to patronize veteran owned businesses today and every day as a way to thank them for their service and provide a means for them to earn following the time they dedicated to our nation.
While there are numerous veteran owned businesses operating in Frederick County who deserve your investment, we want to shed a special light on those we also call Chamber members.
We Salute You: Celebrating Veteran Owned Businesses in Frederick
