Does anyone have any good ideas for naming a partnership program for a government/civilian hybrid team? I want to foster team cohesion.

Have you been to any events with Team Red, White and Blue?

They're a FANTASTIC group and look to be inline with what you're suggesting.

I would think the purpose your looking to consider something like this is small business. You want to start a small business - I like the idea and would consider being part of it. We could do small business, easy stuff in which Veterans can get the upper hand due to us being Veterans. Such as car service, we get all V.A. Hospital locations, even 1 location and you can put 2 or 3 cars and hire 3 or 4 men. Start like that, also security guard business. Lots of competition but it could work. Or food stuff, at the VA-Hospital there is a food place , you know run by a Hindu/American guy. Nice guy, but a Veteran may have a way to displace that guy. He can still make a living on the outside, Veterans need a lot of help. Reach me on this site or Face-Book. Look for 'Veterans in Politics Chapter the five Boroughs of New York City'. Thanks
