In this episode of the VET S.O.S. Veteran Entrepreneur Spotlight, we speak with Nicole (Pompei) Zettlemoyer—Marine and Air Force veteran, mom, and founder of Wreaths by Nicole P.

With over 3,000 pieces made for veterans and Gold Star families across all 50 states, Nicole’s work goes far beyond décor—it’s about legacy, honor, and healing.
