This week's VBE SPOTLIGHT is on Katheryne W. of WSI World! Serving both in the US Air Force from 2006-2012 and US Navy from 2015-2022, Katheryne says, "After fifteen years of active military service, I sought stability and a deeper connection to a community. Entrepreneurship offered the perfect opportunity to achieve these goals while leveraging my skills and experience. Building a business has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to contribute to the local economy, forge strong relationships, and enjoy a fulfilling career path." WSI Marketing is a 2024 Veteran's Business Enterprise® We Love Winner.

We reflect on this solemn day and remember all of the lives that have been affected by the attack of September 11, 2001. Thank you to every First Responder, Health Care Worker, Military Personnel, and ordinary citizens who became American Heroes on that dreadful day... & Thank you to every veteran who has answered the call of duty to make sure something like this never happens again.
