Something to think about
I am so honored to be chosen as one of the “Mighty 25”!!! It has been my purpose to serve the Military & Veteran community for the last 19 years and I feel lucky to have met the most incredible people in this community who inspire me everyday. ??
On this Veteran's Day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the incredible sacrifices made by those who have served our country. As we honor their service, let’s also consider how we can support our veterans in meaningful ways. Here some thoughts on how we can make a difference: -Support Veteran-Owned Businesses: By choosing to shop at veteran-owned businesses, we can help create economic opportunities for those who have served. -Volunteer Your Time: There are countless organizations dedicated to helping veterans’ transition back into civilian life. Your time can be invaluable. -Show Appreciation: A simple “thank you” can go a long way. Acknowledge their service and let them know their sacrifices are not forgotten. This Veteran’s Day let’s not only honor their past but also commit to supporting their future. NCDI Website: ?https://lnkd.in/gaDBd77Y

Happy Veterans Day! Today, we honor those who have served our nation, including our very own Bob Withers at TTSG who served in the Navy. Bob's perspective on military service and its meaning in our society is both profound and inspiring. Bob once shared a powerful insight about his service that has stuck with me for years. When discussing protests and differing opinions, he said that individuals freedom to express diverse views, beliefs, and even protest - regardless of his personal thoughts on those matters - is exactly what he fought for. This statement embodies the true essence of what our veterans have sacrificed for: the freedom for all Americans to voice their opinions, follow their beliefs, even when they differ from our own. It's a testament to the depth of understanding our veterans have about the principles they've defended. ? How does Bob's perspective resonate with you? ? For those who have served, what does freedom of expression mean to you in the context of your service? ? How can we honor our veterans by upholding the values they've fought to protect? Let's use this post as an opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue and express our gratitude to Bob and all veterans who have selflessly served our nation. Photo: Veterans Parade in 1920 In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day (now Veterans Day) with the following words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…” #VeteransDay #Freedom #ThankYouForYourService #TTSG ??John Morris??

Marketing is about reaching an audience. To reach the military community, the message doesn’t have to be a straight line from brand to target. The Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization that honors America's veterans by transporting them to Washington, D.C. to visit their memorials at no cost to them. And it’s an indirect message to the military community as a whole that their service is appreciated. Honor Flight's mission is rooted in respect and gratitude, values that resonate deeply with the military community. By aligning with such causes, brands can demonstrate their commitment to honoring and serving those who have served us. This not only strengthens brand loyalty within the military consumer segment but also sets a brand apart as one that truly understands and appreciates its audience. Brands have an opportunity to establish genuine connections with niche communities like the military. It's not just about selling a product or service; it's about creating a lasting impact and showing that you care. #MilitaryMarketing #Military #marketing #MilitaryAppreciation

Leadership qualities
I am a couple days late posting this on here, but I would be doing you a disservice by not giving you the chance to read about SGT. Tanner Higgins. Death dates are mourned, honored, and celebrated in different ways. For me, I believe a person dies a second time when you stop telling the stories of how they lived. On April 14th, 2012, SGT Tanner Stone Higgins made the ultimate sacrifice for his country while bringing the fight to the enemy in Logar Province, Afghanistan. Here is how I remember SGT Higgins: I met Higgins as a new private in Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. Higgins was a “tabbed specialist.” For those who have not spent time in the military, being a private in the 75th Ranger Regiment is not a great lifestyle. Your life is made up being “smoked” and avoiding anybody who has a Ranger Tab for fear of reprisal. I ran into Higgins shortly after getting to D-co and he was not like the rest of the leadership. In a World of alpha males with loud voices, chest beating, and bravado, Higgins was kind. He didn’t raise his voice for the sake of doing so. He was the kind of person you wanted to follow. Not because you had to, but because you believed in him. He enforced a strict standard because he wanted his subordinates to survive and win when they were hitting a target. He looked like a Spartan and he lead by example. As a new Ranger, he was somebody I aspired to be like. I believe if the country had more folks that exemplified characteristics like Higgins, we would not be facing an identity crisis in America. We would believe personal freedoms are worth dying for and the differences of opinions between person to person are not something that divide us, but what makes America unique. How can you honor SGT Tanner Stone Higgins? Toast a drink to him this evening. Say a prayer for his family. And take the time to explain to your children why guys like Higgins believed in America so much he was willing to die for it. I started this company with the lens of my experiences. Having the opportunity to meet guys like SGT Higgins and watching them die for what they believed in taught me what was important. It’s not politics, business, power, fame, or money. It’s family. It’s morality. It’s the hard right, over the easy wrong. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

Veterans Day, originally Armistice Day, was established to commemorate the end of World War I and to celebrate peace. Over the years, this day has evolved, but I believe it's time we revisit its true meaning: peace, not war. As a veteran, I've seen firsthand the extraordinary sacrifices our service members make. They're willing to miss birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and even the birth of their children. They put their lives on hold and sometimes their lives on the line — all in defense of our freedoms. But here's the reality: This kind of sacrifice doesn’t come without a cost. The security we enjoy every day isn’t free. It’s paid for in ways most of us can’t fully comprehend, and it carries a deep responsibility for us all. As citizens of this great country, it’s not just enough to say “thank you” to our veterans on one day of the year. We must actively ensure that their sacrifices are never made in vain. This means holding our leaders accountable, especially when they begin to beat the drums of war. We have an obligation to ask the hard questions: Is this war truly necessary? Are we prepared to make the sacrifices that come with it? And if war is unavoidable, can we limit its scope and duration to ensure that it serves a clear and just cause? These aren’t just questions for politicians to answer. They’re questions for all of us. It's our duty as Americans to be vigilant, to demand transparency, and to ensure that any military action is taken only when absolutely essential — and that it ends as soon as the mission is complete. This Veterans Day, let’s honor those who serve by committing to build a future where peace is the ultimate victory and sacrifice is always treated with the utmost respect. Our veterans have given so much for us — let’s ensure that we give back by making sure their sacrifices are never taken for granted, and always serve a higher purpose. As Dwight D. Eisenshower said, "I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity." #VeteransDay #PeaceNotWar #MilitaryService #HonorAndRespect #Leadership #Accountability #ArmisticeDay #ServiceAndSacrifice #VeteranVoices

Hello my fellow LinkedIn Peeps!!! I know that we are all excited for this Memorial Day Weekend and that extra day off is awesome BUT remember why we have it. While you are having fun grilling and eating ????be sure to take a moment to honor the soldiers who died while serving our nation. ?? 5 Things To Remember This Weekend ?? 1?? Don’t wish anyone a “Happy Memorial Day” - This is not Christmas but rather a somber day to honor and respect those who gave all to serve their country. 2?? Don’t thank the current troops - While they absolutely deserve respect and gratitude every day of the year, this day is set aside specifically for America’s fallen warriors from every war. America’s veterans are honored during November on Veteran’s Day when we aim to remember and appreciate the sacrifices of all veterans. 3?? Don’t disregard its importance - Though discounts abound for nearly everything from cars to furniture to pool supplies, that’s not what the holiday is about. When we focus only on the backyard barbecues or discounts on refrigerators, we allow the true meaning to become lost. Particularly when the country has perpetually been at war for the last 16 years, this isn’t something we can allow to happen. Grill some amazing steaks, and find the perfect mattress on sale, just don’t forget to raise a glass in honor of those servicemen and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice. 4?? Don’t forget it exists - Even worse than allowing the day to become synonymous with deep discounts and potato salad, is letting it slip from the public’s mind completely. When it becomes simply a highly-anticipated extra morning of sleeping in, instead of the day of reflection and appreciation it was meant to be, we disrespect our fallen troops. 5?? Don’t let politics keep you from rendering respect - Even if you don’t agree with the idea of war, or the reasons America goes to war, or the policies of a particular president who was the Commander in Chief during a specific war, it doesn’t matter. People have defended the people and interests of America for over 200 years, and your right to disagree with the reasons for war should be separate from your opinion of the troops themselves.
