With the help of the Subject Matter Experts, the facilitator, and brainstorming/idea sharing with the other business partners in the cohort, I walked out of the class with a full up LLC and a clear idea of where to go forward. This was the first BIG steps in getting my consulting business going and I'm grateful for the opportunity Service2CEO gave!"

As the holiday season approaches, thoughts naturally turn toward meaningful gifts and ways to support our communities. This year, a unique way to make your holiday shopping even more impactful is by supporting military family-owned businesses. These businesses often embody values of resilience, dedication, and community service, making them excellent choices for thoughtful gift-giving. Here are several reasons why shopping military family-owned can make your holiday season more meaningful
1. Supporting Those Who Serve Behind the Scenes
Military family-owned businesses are often run by military spouses, veterans, or family members who intimately understand the sacrifices associated with service Veterans, having served their country, often bring a strong sense of discipline, resilience, and leadership to their entrepreneurial ventures For military spouses, running a business offers stability and purpose amid frequent relocations, deployments, and long periods apart from loved ones. By supporting these businesses, you’re helping families and veterans who have sacrificed for the nation in various ways offering them financial stability, career growth, and opportunities to thrive as they transition to civilian life or support their loved ones still in service.
2. Unique, High-Quality Products and Services
Many military family-owned businesses create one-of-a-kind products that reflect their unique experiences and talents. From handmade jewelry and custom art to fitness services and gourmet foods, these businesses often emphasize quality, craftsmanship, and authenticity
For instance, businesses like Triple Nikel, a veteran-owned apparel brand, and Art Therapy with Kim, a military spouse-owned art therapy practice, exemplify the creativity and diversity that military families bring to their businesses. Shopping from these sources provides you with unique, memorable gifts that can’t be found at big-box retailers.
3. Investing in Communities and Local Economies
Many military family-owned businesses are small, local enterprises When you support them, your money often goes directly into the local economy, helping the families to give back to the community that supports them Military families tend to form strong connections within their local communities, often volunteering, organizing events, and creating resources for fellow families Your purchase goes beyond just the transaction it helps uplift entire communities tied to the military
4. Keeping Military Traditions Alive
Military family businesses often celebrate and honor the traditions of service members. You’ll find items and services that honor military values, celebrate patriotic spirit, and offer heartfelt tributes to the nation’s service members. These gifts carry deep meaning for anyone connected to the military, and even those who don’t. By purchasing from these businesses, you’re helping keep these traditions alive and showing gratitude for their role in our nation’s legacy.
5. Choosing Ethical Shopping Over Consumerism
In an era where mass consumerism dominates, choosing to shop from military family-owned businesses offers a more ethical and impactful shopping experience These businesses often value quality over quantity, emphasizing handmade, carefully crafted, and responsibly sourced products Supporting them means you’re choosing to spend your money with businesses that prioritize community, integrity, and purpose, making your holiday purchases more meaningful
Supporting military family-owned businesses is a meaningful way to show appreciation for the sacrifices made by both service members and their families. The holiday season is a time for gratitude and giving back, and what better way than by supporting those who contribute to the nation’s well-being? Your purchases can become an extension of your gratitude, turning holiday shopping into a celebration of the bravery, resilience, and dedication that military families embody.

HOW VETERAN DEON GREEN TRANSFORMED HER PASSION INTO DEE LUXE NAILS
Deon Green, the founder of Dee Luxe Nails, embodies resilience, creativity, and an entrepreneurial spirit shaped by her background as a veteran Her journey from military service to becoming a celebrated figure in the beauty industry demonstrates her adaptability and determination to make a lasting impact through her passion for nail artistry Dee Luxe Nails, known for its exceptional, client-centered services, has quickly gained a reputation for stunning, custom nail designs that set it apart in a competitive field.
From Service to a Creative Calling
After her military service, Deon felt a drive to pursue a career that would allow her to channel her creativity in new ways. Nail art initially began as a relaxing hobby, but her designs and techniques quickly drew admiration from friends and family Inspired by their encouragement and a strong desire to create a new path for herself, Deon decided to explore her talents professionally
While her transition from military service to the beauty industry was a leap, Deon’s disciplined work ethic and commitment to excellence— values instilled during her time in service— proved to be assets that set her business apart. Since launching Dee Luxe Nails, Deon has built a loyal clientele who trust her precision, artistry, and attention to detail, making each client feel personalized
What Makes Dee Luxe Nails Stand Out
Deon’s mission for Dee Luxe Nails goes beyond nail care. She aims to create an inviting and luxurious experience where clients feel pampered and understood. The studio specializes in hand-crafted nail art, tailoring each design to the individual style and vision of her clients, from minimalistic elegance to vibrant, intricate designs Dee Luxe Nails not only follows the latest trends but often sets them, as Deon continuously learns new techniques and invests in high-quality, crueltyfree products to ensure her clients enjoy safe, beautiful results
In addition to her creative flair, Deon places a strong emphasis on nail health and shares practical advice with clients on caring for their nails between appointments, showing her commitment to both beauty and wellness.
Overcoming Challenges and Giving Back
The journey from veteran to entrepreneur has not been without challenges Building a business from the ground up required not only creativity but resilience, a quality Deon fostered during her military career Whether it was finding the right location or establishing a client base, each challenge served to strengthen her determination Today, Dee Luxe Nails stands as a testament to her resilience, embodying the same values of discipline, commitment, and adaptability that guided her through military service.
Deon also believes in giving back to her community, often supporting local charities and hosting workshops for aspiring nail artists.
By sharing her knowledge and experience, she hopes to inspire others, particularly veterans, who may be considering a career shift into creative fields
Building a Legacy
Looking forward, Deon envisions expanding Dee Luxe Nails to new locations and possibly launching her own line of nail products. Her ultimate goal is to create a brand that reflects the values of quality, creativity, and community, making Dee Luxe Nails a trusted name in the beauty industry.
Deon Green’s story is an inspiring reminder of the strength, versatility, and potential within our veteran community Through Dee Luxe Nails, she has created a space where art meets passion, honoring both her creativity and her dedication to service

SAUCE MAVEN: IMAN MCDONNAUGH-BROWN’S JOURNEY WITH WE ARE WONDERFULLY MADE (WAWM®)

Through he e essential skills she wo
In military life, of managing time alone dur months at a time, she often e middle of a seven-month d business and invited him to deep-rooted sense of purpo s.
WAWM® began with Iman’s discovery of Trinidadian pepper sauce, a favorite recipe passed down from her grandmother.
Growing up, Iman didn’t care for hot sauce; she found many popular brands to be overly spicy without much flavor. But when she tasted her grandmother’s homemade Trinidadian sauce, everything changed Packed with vibrant flavors, nutritious ingredients, and a perfect balance of heat, it opened her eyes to a new world of seasoning This Trinidadian pepper sauce wasn’t just spicy it was soulful, culturally rooted, and bursting with flavor Recognizing a lack of similar products in American grocery stores, Iman became passionate about sharing her family’s recipe with a broader audience.
She started small, preparing batches with her grandmother and offering samples to friends and family.
Their enthusiastic responses gave her the confidence to launch WAWM® five years ago Today, the business has grown significantly, with Iman’s pepper sauce now a go-to choice for marinating, cooking, dipping, and even spicing up cocktails. Her products have been featured in several magazines, subscription boxes, and online platforms. Notably, WAWM® won an award for Best Cooking Sauce, a proud achievement that confirmed Iman’s belief in her product. Recently, Amazon featured WAWM® for Veterans Day, an honor that underscored the company’s growing reputation
As her business continues to expand, Iman is excited to make WAWM® a household name, aiming to see it on store shelves across the country. Her dream is for WAWM® to become a staple in kitchens, just as it has in her own.
To military-connected entrepreneurs, Iman offers encouraging advice: “Go for it. Don’t wait for perfect timing or for everything to feel ready. You have more skills that are transferable to business than you realize You’ll make mistakes, but that’s part of the journey With sound judgment, perseverance, and a willingness to keep learning, you can make your business a reality” Her journey from military spouse to successful business owner shows that resilience, passion, and cultural pride are powerful ingredients in building a lasting legacy.
