Veterans were celebrated at the Small Business Expo, where dozens of businesses run by those who served our country were highlighted — everything from food vendors to service providers.
Among them was Victor Terry, an Army veteran who served at Arlington National Cemetery.
"My idea was to start something that I could pass down to even my son. I got a 19-year-old son and this is a family owned business, so hopefully we continue to grow and continue to maybe make a legacy for this," Terry said.
Terry says his snow cone stand, "Slam Snow Cones," is more than a business — it's a family legacy and a way to keep veterans visible in the community. Organizers say the expo is about connection, recognition, and ensuring those who served continue to thrive long after their military careers.
