NVBDC Honors Memorial Day by Advancing Global Opportunities for Veteran Entrepreneurs

DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, May 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the nation reflects on Memorial Day, the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC) reaffirms its commitment to honoring the legacy of America’s fallen heroes—not only through remembrance, but by empowering those who continue to serve through business ownership and global leadership.

“Memorial Day is a time for solemn remembrance,” said Brigadier General (ret) Dick Miller, President, NVBDC. “At NVBDC, we believe the best way to honor those who gave all is by investing in our living veterans—by giving them the tools to thrive in business and to lead in global markets.”

In line with this commitment, NVBDC has expanded its partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (ITA) to help Service-Disabled and Veteran-Owned Businesses (SD/VOBs) explore and secure international opportunities. This collaboration gives certified veteran-owned businesses access to resources, export assistance, and direct connections with trade representatives worldwide.

Key highlights of the NVBDC-ITA partnership include:

Hosting educational webinars focused on global trade readiness

Facilitating introductions to international buyers and trade officials

Showcasing certified veteran-owned exporters at NVBDC’s national events

Partnering with U.S. embassies to identify high-growth markets for veteran entrepreneurs

“Our veterans served globally. Now, we’re helping them succeed globally,” said Keith King, Founder and CEO of NVBDC. “We’re not just certifying veteran-owned businesses—we’re building international pipelines for growth and opportunity.”

As NVBDC looks beyond Memorial Day, the organization encourages stakeholders in both the public and private sectors to support and advocate for veteran business success—not only at home, but on the world stage.
