Something to think about

82 years ago, the country’s first African-American Marines were recruited at Camp Montford Point in Jacksonville, NC. 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

Taking a moment to recognize the true meaning behind Memorial Day. It's more than just a holiday; it's a solemn tribute to honor U.S. military personnel who lost their lives serving our nation. Today, we remember the freedom brought by their courage, and it's our duty to honor their memory by upholding the values they fought for. Have you ever wondered what core values the DoD and each Service live by? Here they are: DoD: Duty, Integrity, ethics, honor, courage, and loyalty. Army: Loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. Marine Corps: Honor, courage, and commitment. Navy: Honor, courage, and commitment. Air Force: Integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do. Coast Guard: Honor, respect, and devotion to duty. Many people know what these words mean, but how often do we see someone actually live up to them? A question worth asking ourselves, and a great day to begin living by these values as a way to honor our history and freedom. As we enjoy this day, let's take a moment to reflect, to honor, and to remember the true essence of Memorial Day. Let's honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and strive to live up to the values they fought for. #MemorialDay #HomeoftheFree #HonorThem 🇺🇸
