Honoring Service with Community & Connection
Giving Back Over the Grill: Our Memorial Day Partnership with Operation Gratitude
This Memorial Day, our Rockville, Maryland-based team found a meaningful way to honor the occasion—by combining fun, food, and service. In partnership with Operation Gratitude, we hosted a picnic and cookout with a purpose: to celebrate those who serve and give back to the heroes among us.
The day was filled with sunshine, laughter, lawn games, and delicious food hot off the grill. But the real highlight was our team coming together to make a difference. We rolled up our sleeves and got to work assembling over 20 Paracord lanyards to be included in care packages for deployed troops, veterans, and first responders.
These paracord lanyards are more than just keychains—they’re survival tools made with care, designed to offer both function and a heartfelt message of appreciation. Each one is a small token of support, and we’re proud to contribute to Operation Gratitude’s mission of forging strong bonds between grateful Americans and our military and first responder communities.
