As it has turned out, 67% of Vali’s workforce is comprised of Veterans and I’m extremely proud that we have so many Veterans who are still serving their country; just in a different way.”
Vali, Inc joins 886 other companies from 48 states, plus the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico,
who have shown a commitment to hiring veterans, but also ensuring that they have a long-term career and
growth plan that uses the diverse skills they acquired through their military service.
