Nearly one in 10 small businesses is veteranowned, and our nation’s 2.4 million veteran-owned small businesses employ almost 6 million people and generate more than $1 trillion in receipts. In the private sector, veterans are 45 percent more likely than those with no activeduty military experience to be self-employed.

The Army taught me a good bit on how to be successful and I would recommend the military to anyone looking to get a good start.” Corinth Exhaust owner, Gerald Wegman, said he would recommend serving our country to folks and he was glad he got the opportunity to do so as it helped propel him into the business world. “I joined in 1967 and served in Vietnam,” Wegman said. “I was born and raised here in Corinth and in 1978 I took advantage of my military experience
