I gotta say I love what Motive is about and how we continue to mold and grow as a company! Post like the one below are a prime example.

GOLD BEACH Gold Beach is 1st of 2, of D-Day beaches to be led by the British and was situated between Port-en-Bessin and Ver-sur-Mer the central most area of the D-Day invasion. The objectives of Gold were to secure a beachhead, capture Arromanches to link with American troops at Omaha and to capture Bayeux to link up with Canadian troops from Juno. Similar to Omaha, Gold beach was split into 2 components, an ariel and naval bombardment to clear German defences and an Infantry landing to capture the beach. In contrast to Omaha, the bombardments were highly effective in wiping out most of the German defences. The navel bombardments from HMS Ajax and HMS Argonaut proved to be extremely effectively providing pinpoint accuracy to take out 3 of the 4 artillery emplacements. Infantry landing commenced nearly an hour after the American landings due to different tides. Rough seas made it tricky for Infantry landing craft, resulting in 20 of them being sunk or damaged by mines, however this did not slow British troops much as within an hour they had secured beach exits to push further inland and by days end they had completed their objective.

Military Special Operation Family Collaborative’s (MSOFC) founding work revealed concerning challenges impacting America’s warfighting families. A mere 13% of families from Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps special operations units felt their basic needs were met, while only 18% of spouses felt able to pursue personal goals. Alarmingly, service members were delaying essential healthcare for an average of 13+ years. The intensity of service in special ops resonates profoundly throughout the entire SOF family. MSOFC raises awareness to SOF pitfalls and emphasizes the development of healthy foundations that can fortify special operations families. Our programs foster awareness, teach SOF families to identify signs of stress, and take proactive measures to establish healthy checkpoints and flourish. Military Special Operation Family Collaborative’s mission is imperative. Will you support it and help push free family programs and resources into our active and veteran community?
