On Saturday, March 8th, The Delaware Military Heritage and Education Foundation is pleased to welcome Sam Cannan to speak about the ”Watchmaker Veterans Initiative” (VWI).  
Sam is the Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board. He is a Master Watchmaker.
Sam brings over 40 years of experience in the field of horology as well as many years of business experience and organizational skills to the Veterans Watchmaker Initiative Inc.
Just what is the Veterans Watchmaker Initiative? It is a Watchmaker Training Program for Veterans, and is one of the most exciting concepts to come along in decades.
VWI is an organization set up to provide training, support and referral services to the wounded veterans returning from the wars and return their dignity of purpose in a time-honored craft.
The Paralyzed Veterans of America reported that the unemployment rate for disabled veterans is a staggering 82%. This is a national tragedy. As citizens, we have a duty to help those heroic warriors who became disabled defending freedom and our way of life.
The cost of the program is free for disabled veterans with service connected disabilities.
We are the only organization in the world whose sole purpose is to assist disabled veterans with the training and support they require, to return to gainful employment in the watch repair industry.
