American Hometown Heroes - Helping our heroes launch careers in their hometown.

Every year, thousands of men and women proudly serve in our military, preserving the
freedoms and democracy that makes our country great. Yet, when they return home, they
find the current state of our economy does not provide them the support and job
opportunities they were hoping for. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
the unemployment rate amoung military veterans is nearly double the national average!
And with more troops expected to be returning home in the next few years, the situation
may get even worse.

However, throughout America, independent yellow page publishers are in a unique
position to help. Print and online yellow pages continue to be the number one source for
consumers when they want to find a local business. More specifically, in the last year
alone 84% of people used either print or online yellow pages, rating it as the most trusted
and accurate source they choose. As a result, print and online publishers are a great
resource for any individual looking to start a new business.

Thus, the "American Hometown Heroes" initiative was founded. A coalition of
independent directory publishers and their partners have banded together to offer our
returning heroes a "welcome home" opportunity! This group is willing to provide their
professional advice and marketing assistance to any returning veteran that would like to
start a new business in their hometown - all at no charge to them! This program includes
a comprehensive advertising program in both priint and online for an entire year. Our
military veterans have received training in a wide variety of occupations and trades. Now
they can put those skills to work for themselves - right in their own hometown. Whether
they start their own business in the retail, professional, or service sector, this program
will help them get started. What better way to put America back to work than investing
in the deserving men and women of our armed forces!
