Just in time for Veterans Day....
We have a winner!
A few months ago, a great contest was announced here, as well on some other sites and blogs;
award more than $1.5 million in business ownership opportunities to 100+ veterans, creating more than 1,000 jobs nationwide."
Well, a winner was just chosen! It's Major Philip Piaget, of Crestview, Florida.
Congrats, major!
Bronze Star Medal with Valor Winner. Recipient of a Purple Heart, campaign medals for Kosovo and Iraq and numerous Meritorious Service Medals. Those descriptions all apply to Major Philip Thomas Piaget. Now one more honor has been added: Gold Award in the Maid Brigade Veterans Franchise Giveaway.
Piaget, of Crestview, Fla., won the company's contest in time for Veterans Day 2009. The father of four retired from the Army in September after serving 20 years as an Airborne Ranger and entered the franchiser's national contest the same month, noting that his life as a leader of infantrymen and that of a quality Maid Brigade franchisee have much in common. Compared to his daunting combat and diplomatic assignments surrounding the efforts to quell sectarian violence and insurgent attacks on Coalition Forces in Iraq, his road to franchise ownership was smooth.
Philip was one of six finalists. Look
Major Piaget
Congratulations to this war veteran!
I hope the Major makes a major go of this!
