Melbourne, Florida – September 9, 2010 – VeteranOwnedBusiness.com, the most comprehensive, user friendly directory of businesses owned by military veterans, active duty military, reservists and service disabled military veterans, today announced the addition of their 5,000th business member. In conjunction with the announcement, VeteranOwnedBusiness.com has also released a new search function that allows site users an easy way to find service disabled veteran owned small businesses* by category, keyword, state, county, city or within a certain radius of a zip code.
