Roger Reed here to report to all, that we Veterans and other interested citizens are remembering and putting into action President Lincoln's call to the Nation one month before his untimely death.
"To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan." 
This is the call to action for the California DVBE Alliance in their 17th annual DVBE Convention.
We see that now, more than ever, that promise needs to be kept!
Soon I will attend the 2009 Keeping The Promise DVBE convention to gather video resources and interview material that can be useful to Veteran organizers, policy makers and the general public that wishes to help America in "Keeping The Promise".
The conference allows Vetrepreneur to interact with Govt agencies, Prime contractors and other Veteran owned businesses for the purpose of contracting teaming and developing relationships that lead to a more prosperous future.
I will report back shortly after my return from the conference to detail what was done and share my views on what still needs too be addressed.
MAJOR UPDATE!!!:
Due to conflicts in scheduling and a lack of funding to offset the cost of attending the KTP 2009 I was forced to cancel plans to document the event.
I was very disappointed that I can not share with you all the details and events that are a part of KTP but I will seek out video and photos of the event and point our readers to the location.
