Each year much gratitude is shown for veterans who have occupied the four branches of the United States military: Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.

Each year much gratitude is shown for veterans who have occupied the four branches of the United States military: Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. These vets have made huge sacrifices in their own lives to serve our country on US soil and abroad. They can never be paid enough in honor or dollars. Their commitment is priceless. 

BLACK ENTERPRISE thanks all US vets and extends a special thanks to the 29.2% of Black men and 16.9% of Black women who are currently enlisted in the military, while highlighting these six Black celebrities veterans.
