KENNESAW, Ga., July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Articles praise the efforts and achievements of the U.S. military, while questioning the mainstream media. After months of endless media coverage of the mistreatment of prisoners at Abu Graib, with little to no mention of our military's sacrifice and successes, enough is enough. Brigade Quartermasters, the military and law enforcement gear and clothing company whose mission is Deliver the Goods to the Good Guys(TM), speaks up in more than ten pages of tribute to our military in the June and July catalog mailing to over 350,000 customers.
"We are obviously in a position to benefit from the sale of goods in this wartime effort but our relationship with those we serve and those who serve our country has long been about more than company profit. Our catalog cover depicts our modern military in a style that reminisces the World War II era, when soldiers were actually portrayed as heroes. And discounting a long tradition of featuring key products in the front of the catalog, we have forfeited this space in honor of our Good Guys," explained Tom Cox, Director of Brand Communications.
The special tribute issue features a quote from former President Ronald Reagan, a lengthy but poignant article by Bill Bennett titled "Remembering Why We Fight," an article entitled "Something That Didn't Make the News" by Bob Lonsberry which highlights the heroics on Navy Cross Medal recipient Marine Captain Brian Chontosh, and a special mention of Brigade's friend Scott Helvenston, who was killed in Fallujah, Iraq. Additionally, Brigade proudly donated an ad from the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund in order to help raise money for the children of our fallen heroes.
