At this year’s PuroVet Convention, attendees heard from two distinguished military leaders whose careers reflect service, leadership, military support, and mission-focused execution: Brigadier General (Ret.) Dick Miller and Major General (Ret.) Cornell A. Wilson Jr.
Their participation in the PuroVet Program’s Fireside Chat was more than a featured convention moment. It is a powerful statement about the value of veteran entrepreneurship and the role the Program plays in helping veterans transition their military experience into business ownership.
General Miller and General Wilson understand what it means to lead under pressure, build teams, manage complex operations, and serve something larger than themselves. Those same qualities are at the heart of the PuroVet Program.
Brigadier General Dick Miller brings decades of civilian and military leadership experience. During his military career, he commanded more than 40,000 U.S. Army troops in Afghanistan and held senior leadership roles that required strategy, discipline, accountability, and calm decision-making in high-pressure environments. After retiring from the military and from his civilian role as a Senior Vice President of a Detroit-based electronics company, General Miller continued his commitment to veterans by supporting initiatives focused on veteran healthcare, employment, entrepreneurship, and business opportunity.
Major General Cornell A. Wilson Jr. also brings a distinguished record of leadership, service, and operational excellence. His career reflects the ability to lead large organizations, develop people, manage resources, and execute missions with precision. Throughout his service and beyond, General Wilson has remained committed to helping veterans recognize the value of the skills they developed in uniform and apply those skills to new opportunities after military service.
That is why both generals see PuroVet as more than a franchise program. They see it as a pathway for veterans to continue leading.
Through the PuroVet Program, veterans can own and operate a PuroClean franchise focused on water, fire, storm, mold restoration, and mitigation. It is a hands-on business that requires urgency, leadership, customer service, operational discipline, and the ability to respond when families and businesses are facing difficult moments.
For veterans, that mission feels familiar. The uniform may come off, but the instinct to serve, lead, protect, and solve problems does not disappear. PuroClean’s PuroVet Program gives veterans a way to carry those values into business ownership while building something meaningful for themselves, their families, their employees, and their communities.
The PuroVet Program stands out as one of the nation’s leading veteran franchise opportunities not only because of the PuroClean system, the training, the support, and the 25% veteran franchise discount, but also because of the leadership and community behind it. Veterans who join the PuroClean family through the PuroVet Program are not simply buying a business model. They are joining a network that understands service, accountability, teamwork, and mission execution.
That is what makes the military support of General Miller and General Wilson so important. Their presence at the PuroVet Fireside Chat reinforced the message that veteran entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business. It is about continuing a life of leadership and service in a new way.
As PuroVet continues to grow, its mission remains clear: Help veterans turn their military experience into successful business ownership while serving communities during some of their most urgent times of need.
For General Miller and General Wilson, supporting PuroVet means supporting veterans as they step into their next mission. Because veterans do not stop leading after service; they find new ways to lead. Because veterans do not stop leading after service; they find new ways to lead.
