For 250 years, those brave souls known as Leathernecks, Jarheads, and Devil Dogs have fought on shores near and far whenever America has called. Feared by their enemies, respected by their allies, and understood only by each other, Marines continue their peerless history of always faithful service with honor, courage, and commitment.
To celebrate, we are showcasing some of our Entrepreneurship program alumni that also happen to be Marine Corps veterans! We encourage you to explore their businesses, and pay specific attention to their asks of our community. If you can connect with them or connect them to someone who can help them reach the next level, take the extra step and reach out!
