On Monday, President Obama signed the VOW to Hire Heroes Act into law. The President urged every business owner who is hiring to hire a veteran right away, because hiring veterans is smart business. As more than 1 million service members return to civilian jobs as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq wind down, connecting veterans with jobs here at home will help the economy grow. This Saturday, November 26th, is a day to recognize the crucial role that small businesses play in driving our economy and creating American jobs according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.

The White House tweeted about the movement on their account: “When you buy a product or service from a small business, your money goes right back into the local economy. That’s why the Small Business Administration is asking Americans to shop small for some holiday shopping this weekend.” In addition to the White House’s Twitter statement and the law, the White House website announced people to participate in the incentive savings offered during Small Business Saturday, “you can receive a one-time $25 statement credit when you register any eligible American Express® Card and use that Card to make a purchase of $25 or more at a small business on November 26, 2011.”
