EOD Warrior Foundation reminds us that veterans are an eclectic group

With Veteran’s Day around the corner, it’s a great time to consider those who have fought for our continued freedom. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are roughly 18.5 million veterans in the country. Do you really know what a veteran is? The more we learn about this unique group, the more we become aware of the diversity that our nation’s veterans represent.

“Veterans have served our country proudly, and have ensured our freedom endures,” explains Nicole Motsek, executive director of the EOD Warrior Foundation. “Veterans are made up of a diverse group of servicemen and women, representing every aspect of this country.”

The holiday gift buying season is just around the corner, and people are already beginning to plan for it. According to Gallup, the average person will spend around $830 on gifts, with 30% of shoppers spending over $1,000 on them. Yet many of those gifts are products that will be set aside, go unused, and will lose value the moment the person opens them. For those looking for something with more of a lasting value, they may want to consider giving diamond investments as gifts this year.

“Diamonds have an over 3,000-year history of value growth, and everyone loves them,” explains Sean Cohen, president of Van Zwam, the developer of Defined Value Diamonds (DVDs). “They make great gifts for just about everyone.  Whether it’s for children, grandchildren, family or friends, even employees, diamonds are a gift of everlasting emotional and financial value, and they can be put into jewelry and enjoyed anytime,”

Most people realize that they need to invest some of their money so that they have something saved for the future and to pass down to the next generation. Yet with so many investment options available, it can be a daunting task trying to determine where to put your money. Today, many people are turning to tangible investments and for good reasons. The more people learn about the benefits of having a portion of their investment dollars in tangible assets, the more it makes sense to take advantage of the option.

“There is no shortage of ways that you can invest your money, but not all of them will put your investment in the power of your own hands,” explains Sean Cohen, president of Van Zwam, the developer of Defined Value Diamonds (DVDs). “We help people every day to invest in tangible assets and we hear the stories of how they love the option and how it brings them comfort.”
