VeteranOwnedBusiness.com is proud to welcome Remembering America’s Heroes of Milwaukie, Oregon (Clackamas County OR) to the Veteran Owned Business Directory Non Profit Section.
Remembering America’s Heroes Details: “Under the leadership of Executive Director Ken Buckles, Remembering America’s Heroes (RAH) provides education to youth and the community so they can understand and appreciate the value of freedom and its cost. For the past fourteen years, RAH has been known for Milwaukee High School’s Living History Day, which is the biggest and most comprehensive school program honoring Veterans in the state. In 2008, over 700 Veterans and their guests attended the all-day signature event at Milwaukie High School (MHS).
Living History Day at MHS includes speaker sessions, where small pairings of Veterans speak to students in classrooms about their experiences; a luncheon hosted by MHS students; a Gold Star Assembly that pays tribute to 50 MHS students and one teacher who lost their lives serving our country; and an impressive museum with over 50 military memorabilia/artifact collectors spread throughout the gym and outdoor areas.
The day culminates in the Assembly of Honor, a recreated USO Show that includes performances by students and professional performers, as well as comedy, words of inspiration, and special recognition of our Veterans. MHS students spend days, even weeks, decorating the campus in preparation. Many alumni come back each year to help out as well.
RAH also takes its Living History Day program on the road several times throughout the year to other schools in Oregon. RAH has helped organize Living History Day programs and assemblies at Pendleton High School.”

Attention Minnesota Veterans, Reservists, Active Duty Military and Service Disabled Veterans:
New business loan program announced for Minnesota reservists and veterans. The Minnesota Reservist and Veteran Business Loan Program provides business loans to companies that are affected when certain employees are called to active military duty and to individual veterans who have returned from active duty and want to start their own business.
Business Loans
These loans are for existing small businesses that have an essential employee called to active service in the military reserves for 180 days or longer, causing a substantial economic injury to the business due to the employee’s absence.
Start Up Business Loans
These loans are for recently service separated veterans seeking financial assistance to start their own small businesses.
Financing and Terms
Both types of loans provide one-time, interest-free loans of $5,000 to $20,000. The loan terms are 54 months, with no repayment for the first 18 months and equal monthly payments over the remaining 36 months.
The financing comes from the program’s revolving loan fund, which has a total of $400,000 available. Applications are accepted and loans disbursed until all funds are committed.
For More Information contact Jeff Nelson at 651-259-7523 or email Jeff.M.Nelson@state.mn.us or visit the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development website.
