Veteran's Day is just around the corner so we wanted to pop in here and say a big thank you to those who have supported us over the years. As veterans of the U.S. Navy we are happy to continue serving families throughout the United States as they purchase products from us to share quality time with their loved ones. It means the world to us that you support our small business.
We also want to take a moment to call attention to some of the charities and organizations that made our time in the military a little easier or that we knew would help us should we need it.
Many of you know the
USO. They provide so many services to veterans we can't even really sum it up here. We mostly utilized their facilities at airports we were traveling through. Their airport lounges give service members a nice place to relax, use the internet, watch TV and get a snack for free. It is especially nice to spend time in one of their lounges when traveling in uniform. Sometimes traveling in uniform is stressful and this gave us a place to hide away from curious onlookers.
The
Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society provides emergency assistance and other services to Sailors and Marines and their families.
The
Service Women's Action Network, also known as SWAN is an organization that assists women service members and veterans. It's a great resource for women that need assistance with any of a variety of issues they alone face during or after serving. If you know a woman in the military, please consider donating to his organization.
As with any charitable donation, we recommend doing your due diligence first. Check out websites like
Charity Navigator or
Charity Watch to see how the organization you're planning to donate to scores.
And of course if you buy your cribbage boards and pegs from us, you'll be supporting a veteran owned business! To see even more veteran owned businesses and to find some near you, visit
