    A Legacy Reimagined: The Historical Foundations and Future Vision of National Invest In America Week℠


A Legacy-Inspired Observance Built on the Jeff Shuford Roadmap℠
Launched by the National Invest In Veterans Week® Team

National Invest In America Week℠ is a forward-facing civic observance rooted in legacy, vision, and national economic reinvention. Celebrated annually from July 1 to July 7, the initiative stands as a natural evolution of the globally recognized movement National Invest In Veterans Week®—the only federally trademarked and congressionally honored veteran business observance in the United States.

This new initiative was catalyzed by a March 6, 2024 public statement authored by Congressman Brian Mast, Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. His post, titled “Invest in America, Invest in Veterans”, articulated the moral imperative of investing in veterans as foundational to sustaining American prosperity. The timing was symbolic—published on the birthday of Angel Shuford, the current President and CFO of National Invest In Veterans Week®, and one of the foremost stewards of civic-driven veteran empowerment.

“Just as these veterans invest in us and our safety, we must likewise invest in the veterans who have sacrificed so much for the greater good.”
— Congressman Brian Mast
