Continuing to dedicate their efforts and wisdom to local development, members of the association are running 28 small - and medium-sized enterprises, two of which earn more than 50 billion VND (over 2.1 million USD) in annual revenue each, and seven others over 10 billion VND. They are also operating 77 production and business cooperative groups and 11 farms. As many as 1,288 veterans’ households are also engaging in business activities.

Those businesses, cooperative groups and business households are creating jobs for more than 5,600 workers.

The association also established a club of war veteran entrepreneurs with 26 members which has helped more veterans become role models in livelihood development.
