You're standing in line. A Veteran approaches. They read your shirt.Now, imagine thefeelings of Respect, Recognition andHonor they would feel.
It's printed on both
sides with honor statements causing Veterans to feel a huge boost when you
walk by! You will surprise them with awesome recognition if you join our Veteran
Tribute - Flash Mob! Brighten their day! (Remember - random acts of
kindness spreads a loooong way)
Purpose: This campaign has two purposes. The
first is that I am so proud of our veterans, that I want to shout it from the
top of the mountains!!! I think this shirt is a much better idea than just one
voice. This will be a large cheer from a group of awesome people to get
the point across to our veterans how much we appreciate what they've done for
us and to give them great feelings of accomplishment, honor and recognition. BE
AWESOME!
We've received so many
letters back from our hard working veterans to let us know how much they
appreciate the thoughts and gifts from back home. I believe it raises their
spirits and their hopes. Sometimes hope is everything. I want to spread
feelings of recognition and honor to our Veterans here living at home in the
United States as well. This shirt should help accomplish this goal. I know that
when they see this on you, they will have a better day. It's just nice
to be appreciated.
So, the second purpose
is to help re-purchase inventory for Brass Peace Inc. Over 3200 red brass coins
were stolen; we started with 5000, and already sent over 1000 to our U.S
military personnel working overseas. My wife and I design and manufacture
'Thinking of You' coin gifts for veterans and the public to enjoy.
The primary rule of the
company is that one coin has to be sent to a veteran overseas or a hospitalized
veteran stateside at no cost to them before Brass Peace can sell another coin
to someone from the public. No exceptions!!! I stand firm on this in the
knowledge that our veterans never give up fighting for us. My Dad never gave up
in the 31 missions he flew for us in WWII. So I won't give up either.
I want to start a
program so the public can write notes for free to send with our coins. This
personalizes the gifts in a priceless way for the veteran. I designed a
plan for collecting letters in batches of 1000, but I can’t start this without
enough inventory.
Why is the shirt red?
Oh, that's easy... ever heard of R.E.D. Friday? Yeah, that's the day you wear
this. Every Friday in honor of our veterans that are deployed.
(Remember Everyone D_eployed)
So, when you're out with
your new shirt, remember, the more veterans that see it, the less it costs for
you to make those great feelings and smiles happen. If 250 veterans see you in
this shirt during the course of a year, it has effectively only cost you 10
cents per great feeling! That is an average of only 5 veterans a week. Easily
done. Just walk through a mall and 50 will see you!
Now, get your shirt,
(definitely before Veterans Day) go out and make it cost less than a penny per
smile! BE AWESOME! BE THE FLASH MOB!
