I am a proud member of the DAR, the "Daughters of the American Revolution". We do a lot of events for our Veterans. Many of these men and women whom are hospitalized, never have a visitor.
Last Christmas I personally created almost 300 Holiday cards.
I make all my cards with Stampin Up supplies.
What I am looking for is a few of the "Black LA Veteran Dodger Hats". I'd like to give them to the patients in the VA Hospital.
My question is, are these hats available for purchase in the store at the stadium? Whom can I talk to about obtaining a large amount of these Veterans Caps for the patients at the Veterans Hospital? I'm sure these patients would love them! My email is available below.
Thank you

Creating Authentic Connections for Brands and Agencies with the Military Community
Do sponsorships work? Spoiler alert, they do. But do they work for branches of the US military, which has different goals/objectives than a consumer brand? That’s a different question.
The goal of #MilitaryMarketing is to reach a targeted audience, and sponsorships provide a unique platform to do so. Sports, specifically, mirrors the military values of camaraderie and teamwork, creating a natural fit. But, the effectiveness of these sponsorships depends on the execution. It's not just about slapping a logo somewhere; it's about creating meaningful experiences that resonate.
From my experience, the most successful #sponsorship is one that goes beyond mere advertising. It involves community engagement, support for a cause, and authentic storytelling. When done right, sponsorships can foster deep connections and generate goodwill among a broader audience.
So, do sponsorships from service branches work? The Department of Defense seems to think so.

SO PUMPED to be sitting in the press box at the 124th running of the Army-Navy Game, presented by the incredible folks at USAA today!
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to sit down with CEO Wayne Peacock, Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth, Medal of Honor recipient Ryan Pitts, Rob Gronkowski, and others to talk about what this game means.
It's so much more than football. #armynavy#usaa
Raise your hand. Who can explain the role the US Coast Guard played in last week's #NFLDraft?
The Coast Guard plays a pivotal role in securing major events, including the NFL Draft. Military involvement in major events is mostly behind-the-scenes -- as is the majority of military service in general. Much like a long snapper on an NFL team, you may only pay attention to the military when something goes sideways.
This unsung service is exactly what presents a unique opportunity for brands and agencies. Recognizing aspects of military service and the military lifestyle is the most direct path to connecting with one of the country's largest consumer segments -- as segment that runs 40M+ strong and spends $1.4T at cash registers annually.
The NFL Draft is one of many examples where the military step in, unnoticed, and does their job. That same NFL Draft was also a platform to recognize military service. USAA did a good job of doing just that. Why are they the only brand at this party?
Whether it's through military observances on the calendar or through cultural events, there are many opportunities for brands to proactively reach a new consumer group. Saying "thank you" while increasing brand metrics among a fiercely loyal consumer segment? Sounds like a solid growth strategy to me.
It's not just about sponsorship or event production or large marketing campaigns; it's about creating meaningful connections that resonate with military community.

Reflecting on my summer vacation it's become clear to me that the best brand activation and brand experience is the Navy Blue Angels Air Show. Hands down.
What an amazing recruitment tool, showcase of precision, absolute badassery and unreal way to grow love for the brand.
Every July on Pensacola Beach, FL more than 200K fans flock to the white sandy beaches to see the Blue Angels perform over the gulf. If you haven't seen the show on the beach, you should, it will be a top 5 moment in your life.
And this happens in 35 other cities throughout the year. What other brand can say they have that kinda love and following year after year? My 3.5 year old daughter is obsessed and I see people who've been attending for 35 years scream with kid-like enthusiasm.
The timing of the Blue Angels documentary on Amazon Prime made this year so much more impactful for me.
I love this line from the first ever Blue Angel Boss: "Everyday we're chasing perfection, we'll never get it, but along the journey we'll reach excellence."
While it may seem kinda gimmicky, it's a quote I keep in my head and something I strive for with my work and team.
Beyond getting my heart pumping, the documentary taught me a few things about work:
- Accountability and criticism of your performance is not personal, it's because people care and know you're capable of more, so use it to be better.
- Showing you love what you do everyday rubs off on your team and your work (I love how they start every meeting saying "glad to be here").
- Empowering your team to be leaders and set standards is a way to make everyone better. When the boss is the only one with a say, the team fails.
So while I may not be able to handle even 1/2 a G, or ever fly in the Yankee Set (that's 12 inches between wings), I will always have a special place in my heart for the Blue Angels.
Shout out to my wife who introduced me to them 13 years ago. We haven't missed a show since. That's me in the Royals jersey at the end of the surprise flyover.

When I deployed to Iraq as a young logistics officer with my platoon, I learned a leadership lesson that has stayed with me for 18 years.
I saw the movie 300 for the first time right before we rolled into Ramadi during the Surge. It's a great movie to watch with your platoon before you go on patrol. The story was great, but it wasn't the story that spoke to me. It was how Leonidas spoke to his troops.
Specifically, these three sentences:
This is where we hold them.
This is where we fight.
This is where they die.
On these shields, boys!
300 was the true story of 300 Spartan warriors led by King Leonidas. They sacrificed themselves in a successful holding action against a Persian army of thousands so that the rest of Greece could come together to push Xerxes back.
In his speech, Leonidas started at the end. Faced with a seemingly impossible situation, he started with his VISION, the end state, the outcome.
He declared the outcome before it happened. He didn't say, we're going to try.
He said, this is what will happen.
This is what we will do.
Simple. Start with the vision, deliver the mission, rally the team to action. He didn't discuss how they might fail or how they might retreat. He stated the vision and how they would achieve the end result.
He generated an unstoppable attitude, and it led to one of the most heroic successful last stands of all time and an ultimate victory.
I learned the concept as a young leader, but I have been slowly learning to apply it over the decades.
We don't have to be King Leonidas to be a good leader. But we should hold his attitude close to our heart and let it guide our actions.
Whether it's a patrol, a global campaign, a battle, a project, perhaps three projects:
Know your end-state, decide the outcome, then work back from there as you build your plan. Start with the end and go back to the beginning.
Focus your team on the outcome, set your course and all follow on actions on it like the North Star. Roll out with calm assurance to challenge the constraints and achieve the vision!
It works.
