Hi Rini-
Thanks for your service!
As far as organizations that connect veteran-owned companies, check out the following:

http://www.navoba.com/

http://www.nvsbc.org/

I'd also recommend you contact your local Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in Kentucky. They provide free consulting, can help you connect with other VOSBs, and may even have a Veterans program (many SBDCs do have Veterans initiatives).

As far as mentors, I am an ementor in the Military Entrepreneur eMentor Community. Proteges may join by invitation only, but check out this site to learn more about eligibility:

Good luck!
