Something to think about

Some interesting facts about the Medal of Honor.

Taking on the Murph, I recently embarked on something completely new for me the Murph. Named in honor of Navy SEAL Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy, this challenge pushes physical limits and mental toughness to a whole new level. The Murph consists of a 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, followed by another 1-mile run, all while wearing a weighted vest. It's not just about physical endurance; it's about honoring sacrifice and embracing resilience. Why did I take it on?

The City of Jacksonville celebrated their bravery at en event honoring the legacy of the Marines as well as nine of the original Montford Point United States Marine Corps. Why is this important? Every day, we enjoy freedoms that were hard-won by brave men and women. Outside of Veterans Day and Memorial Day, how often do we take a moment to honor their service and recognize the milestones that shaped our history? How often do brands speak to the military community to form deeper relationships? When brands take the time to acknowledge military service or milestones, they not only show respect but also build trust and loyalty within this unique consumer segment. Whether it’s a simple social media effort or a dedicated campaign, brands have an opportunity to connect with the military in a meaningful way. #MilitaryMarketing #Military #MarketingStrategy #MilitaryAppreciation
