America's veterans don't always have it easy. The military is great at training civilians to become warriors, but when their service is over, many veterans have trouble returning to civilian life. As we approach Memorial Day, we meet two veterans from Virginia who've discovered how to put their military skills to good use and become successful franchise owners.

  I agree completely as Vetrepreneur of the year for 2010 I was introduced tosome of the issues for returning vets...I have been franchising since 1985any franchisee that we have brought in from the military gets it right away.They follow the system and get results, they are diriven and motivatedand actually bring more to the table as a member of the franchise community then non military personal that do not adjust as quickly tofollowing established systems and protocol. Last year after interviewinga number of returning Vets we offered a $10k discount for either one ofour franchise opportunities from Vet's from Desert storm forward. My wayof giving back and helping some one get a fresh start.ray margiano ceo foot solutions
