Marine Veteran Expands Business' Movement to Help Employ Veterans

STAFFORD, Va. – JDog Junk Removal & Hauling, a rapidly growing national company on a mission to offer business ownership opportunities to veterans and their family members, is now servicing Stafford County. JDog franchisees provide junk removal and hauling services to both residential and commercial customers, delivering service the military way: with respect, integrity and trust.
JDog of Stafford County is owned by Al Gourlay. Al served in the Marine Corps for 30 years and retired as Sergeant Major in 2005. He served in all four Marine Divisions, 1st Marine Air Craft Wing, Head Quarters, U. S. Marine Corps and other special duty assignments.
