In the wake of Veterans Day on Wednesday, Founder and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Frank G. Cannata expresses his appreciation for all that dealer leasing partner U.S. Bank does for our veterans. He points out that U.S. Bank is the driving force behind The Cannata Report’s “Veterans Way” series. Cannata has known Phil Buysse, the bank’s vice president and general manager for Office Equipment Vendor Services, for some 30 years. Buysse explains how strong support of veterans is part of U.S. Bank’s mission, and he outlines several partners leading these initiatives for employees, customers, and the community at large.
Lending a Helping Hand for U.S. Veterans
Citing post-service career transitions, recruiting, and training, Buysse also highlights additional ways in which U.S. Bank supports veterans, including:
- 30+ new homes built for veterans and their families
- 35+ home renovations constructed over the past nine years
- 100+ vehicles donated to U.S. veterans
There’s even a veteran-centric business resource club within the bank, he explains. Cannata lauds the efforts of U.S. Bank, which he notes takes a conservative posture when it comes to publicity. Thank you from Frank and all of us at The Cannata Report!
