In addition, the day encourages business owners to hire veterans. National Hire a Veteran Day was started by&nbsp;Dan Caporale, a <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>Marine Corps veteran. Caporale is also the founder of the organization, Hire Our Heroes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, there were 19 million U.S. veterans in 2021. Many veterans have a hard time readjusting to society when they reintegrate into civilian life. This can be due to physical disabilities or mental health issues, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, which they may face as a result of their time served. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 2020, Veterans Affairs noted that more than 60 percent of veterans entering PTSD programs did not have employment. Not only does this affect their financial status, but it can also impact their housing and overall quality of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some veterans may have options lined up or find employment easier than others, there are still many in need of jobs. Potential employers may be surprised to learn that veterans are excellent job candidates.  While serving their country, they have obtained skills that make them valuable assets in various roles.  They may have experience with technology, engineering, cyber security, sales, healthcare, and trade work. They just need opportunities to adapt their training to the needs of employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch<\/a> is highlighting some of the grants on our site to help veterans. These grants include funding for programs that support veterans, as well as funding for veterans themselves to participate in business programs or receive financial assistance. We hope you find these grants helpful! And remember, one of the best ways to honor a veteran is to hire one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5 Grants to Help Veterans<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Grants are open to USA nonprofits <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/193353\/grants-to-usa-nonprofits-for-programs-that-assist-veterans-service-members-and-their-families.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">for programs that assist veterans<\/a>, military service members, and family members.
