Bruce, more and more companies, the likes of Lockheed Martin, and Merck are looking for veteran owned business's. It is a procurment now for them to do business with us.
Lucent Technologies just landed the Dept of the Army's IMOD contract. I contacted the manager of this project for Lucent, and introduced myself as a SDVOB. He has told me, that parts of this IMOD contract must be done by different dis-advantaged business's. Some are 8A certified, some women-owned and some percentage to veteran and SDVOB.
This IMOD is a global contract, with services needed everywhere including the states. In fact, I think california is one of the starting points.
Look at this one one in Georgia: http://www2.fbo.gov/spg/VA/AtlVAMC/VAMCCO80220/247%2D0294%2D06/SynopsisR.html
strictly for SDVOB.
Now the problem is, for me...being big enough to do this, hense the need for teaming up.
Here is one in my neck of the woods:

I'll post more info for the vets, if you guys want..
