Today’s #VeteranOfTheDay is Marine Veteran Travis McVey.

Travis served in the Marine Corps from 1989 to 1992 as a Presidential Honor Guard.

After a good friend died in combat, Travis was inspired to create Heroes Vodka, which donates much of its proceeds to Veteran service organizations such as AMVETS.

He is a member of American Legion, AMVETS, VFW, and other groups. He was honored as Veterans Advocate of the Year by Vetrepreneur Magazine and Veteran Business Advocate of the Year by the National Veteran Business Owners Association.

Thank you for your service, Travis!
