DAV’s Distinguished Speaker Series at Harvard Law School presents “Service to Startup: Making Entrepreneurship Accessible for Veterans.” The men and women who served in uniform have unique potential to succeed as entrepreneurs who make lasting, positive impacts across communities and industries. But having sacrificed the typical years spent earning business degrees and building networks, veterans pursuing business ownership can be at a disadvantage. Join us on Thursday, Oct. 8, 12-1 p.m. (Eastern), for a moderated discussion with veterans and thought leaders about the challenges these mission-driven innovators face, and how you can support them. This free virtual event is co-hosted by the Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School’s Veterans Legal Clinic and the Harvard Law School Armed Forces Association, and supported by DAV (Disabled American Veterans), a more than century-old national nonprofit dedicated to ensuring our promise is kept to America’s veterans. RSVP: https://dav.la/4gV7wKr.

On Gold Star Mother's Day, we pause to honor the mothers whose lives have been forever changed by the loss of a son or daughter in military service. No words can ease the weight of that sacrifice, but we can ensure their loved ones are never forgotten. Today, we recognize the extraordinary strength, resilience and love of Gold Star Mothers, while remembering the servicemembers whose courage and selfless sacrifice continue to inspire our nation. To every Gold Star Mother, thank you. We remember your child, we honor their legacy, and we stand with you today and always.
