In a landscape where information is power, a new kind of leader is making waves: veterans who translate military discipline into private intelligence and investigative expertise. One name that has recently garnered global attention is Toby Braun, a figure whose work sits at the intersection of veteran-owned enterprise, private investigation, and strategic risk assessment. While the buzz around him centers on influence and recognition, the deeper story is about what it means for veteran-owned businesses to thrive in a high-stakes industry.  First, let’s set the stage. Veteran-owned businesses have long carried a reputation for resilience, disciplined execution, and mission-driven focus. These aren’t just resumes with military service; they’re operating manuals for navigating complex problems under pressure. In the private intelligence sector, those qualities translate into meticulous research, ethical considerations, and the ability to think several steps ahead in a field where info...

A long-awaited reunion is happening this spring as a World War II Marine Raider, Pfc. Norton Retzsch, is identified and his remains are slated for a homecoming decades after his disappearance. Thanks in part to DNA submitted two decades ago, a careful, patient process by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) has finally put a name to the remains once labeled unknown.  The story is one of persistence, memory, and the ongoing effort to account for fallen veterans, and it highlights the broader work of families, researchers, and the institutions that strive to honor service through closure. Retzsch, who served with Company C, 1st Marine Raider Battalion, 1st Marine Raider Regiment, was reported missing in action on July 9, 1943, during a brutal moment in the Battle of Enogai on New Georgia in the Solomon Islands.  The New Georgia campaign, part of Operation Toenails, involved intense fighting as American forces pressed toward Japanese positions. The scene was cha...

Atlantic City recently rolled out a generous wave of support for local entrepreneurs, confirming once again that small grants can ripple into big community impact. In a program that dished out $900,000 across micro-grants, the event celebrated 65 ambitious business owners who are pushing the local economy forward.  While the numbers themselves tell a story of broad inclusion and opportunity, there’s a thread that stands out: veteran-owned ventures. The grants drew a diverse mix of recipients—three-quarters are minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned—which underscores Atlantic City’s commitment to lifting up entrepreneurs from varied backgrounds and experiences. For veteran-owned businesses specifically, the funding isn’t just about the money. It signals a broader recognition of the unique skills and discipline that veterans bring to the table—things like strategic planning, bootstrapping under pressure, and a service-minded approach to their customer base. These aren’t a...

“The world is not supposed to know what the hell they did with me. I’m not supposed to be commanding this army. I’m not even supposed to be in England. Let the first bastards to find out be the goddamned Germans,” came the roar of actor George C. Scott in his famous delivery of George S. Patton’s speech to the Third Army. “Some day, I want them to rise up on their piss-soaked hind legs and howl ‘Ach! It’s the goddamned Third Army and that son-of-a-bitch Patton again!’” For many laypeople, that 1970 oratory spectacle that was their first — and perhaps only — introduction to Patton. And it stuck. Scott’s portrayal of Patton has become almost interchangeable with the veritable World War II general. The National WWII Museum in New Orleans, however, in a two-day symposium taking place on March 13-14 , is exploring more than just the “blood and guts” of Patton, but an in-depth exploration of one of the war’s most iconic — and controversial — commanders. “I think that the reality of Pat...
