SolidWorks Military Veterans Program (MVP)

Flag Flown for SolidWorks

On Monday, Veteran’s Day, here in America,  we honor those who serve in the US armed forces. The SolidWorks Military Veterans Program (MVP) allows US veterans to obtain SolidWorks for educational purposes through the SolidWorks Military Veterans Education store.  US Veterans can obtain a copy of SolidWorks at a discounted rate and a DD214 form..

In 2009, a young Veteran came to us and asked for a copy of SolidWorks.  He wanted to keep his skills up for his employer during deployment. Months later, we received a flag flown for SolidWorks.  We have received many thank you cards and plaques of the years from students – but this was an honor I never expected.
