Veterans Day: More than a Marketing Tool

Tomorrow is Veteran's Day.  Once again, there are a rash of sales that have nothing to do with helping veterans or veterans' organizations.  They are merely using them as a marketing tool to sell their products. 

As a writer and producer, I honor military personnel and veterans in my work.  It's why I created Horses and Heroes and Operation Home Base.  Both TV series tell the stories of those, who have and continue to serve.

Horses and Heroes combines Equine Therapy with Peer Support Therapy as eight veterans per season support each other as they reclaim their lives.  Unlike most in the genre, it supports healing and positive forward movement rather than endorsing bad behavior.

The scripted series, Operation Home Base combines the best elements of MASH, The Waltons, and NCIS to create a family of man drama about forgiveness and second chances. By combining real life stories with a fictional international conspiracy, OHB  builds a bridge of understanding between civilians and those who serve.

Horses and Heroes is first on the slate.  We have two amazing hosts: Tim Abell and Craig Sawyer as well as a therapist/veteran coordinator, Dave Ferruolo.  All three are veterans as will be most of the crew.  

We need your help. We need introductions to investors and corporations that would like to market there product, while supporting those who serve, in socially responsible way.  But  even if you don't have wealthy friends, who invest or contacts within corporations, you can still help.  The proceeds from my books bought on the website will be used to fund Horses and Heroes.  You can buy the PDFs and recommend others do the same.  They are inexpensive, but every little bit helps.  If you have a little extra, you can donate it to the production fund on the website.  You have the power to make a the difference.

Cross-branding to prevent veterans' suicide

Horses and Heroes is a Realty TV series that focuses on healing rather than glorifying bad behavior. Working with the horses helps veterans find new ways to cope with their physical and emotional challenges. Peer Support Therapy will give them the safe, supportive environment to face their ghosts head on. Horses and Heroes can’t get them back what they lost. War took that person. Yet it doesn’t have to be the end of their story. They can’t go back and make a brand new start, but they can start from now and make a brand new end. Horses and Heroes will help veterans find the strength and courage within themselves to rebuild their lives and create that brand new end.

Advertising is a necessary part of every successful business venture. It not only makes the customers aware of the products availability, but it also gives brand recognition. Cross-branding with Horses and Heroes will create positive PR in a cost effective manner, while setting an industry standard for social responsibility. We are combining the old school sponsorship of early television with today’s promotional techniques to create a whole new marketing tool.

We are offering a cross-branding opportunity that will give a corporation access to military personnel and veterans, especially those in the 18-35 age group.

The question is, "Can they overcome their tragic past or will they be doomed to repeat it.
