Veterans Day Salute

uShip + Veterans Day

uShip proudly works alongside more than 2,000 of our nation’s veterans. Here we take a moment to honor a few who are connected to the uShip family in various ways. In 2021, veterans owned approximately 304,823 employer businesses—about 5.4% of the 5.68 million U.S. businesses with at least one paid employee, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2022 Annual Business Survey.

We thank each and every one of our military service members for their service to this country, not only today, but everyday.
