Veteran Owned Company: ZERO FOXTROT

My husband served in the army for 6 years. He is a veteran of the Iraq War and Kosovo. My husband does have some PTSD from his time in the military. Some of the things he’s witnessed…we’ve been married for 8 1/2 years, Been together for 11 1/2 years. I’ve known him most of my life (he grew up near me) but if i heard a story about his time in the military it was usually about living quarters, the heat, what they did for fun, interesting stories, rarely the bad ones. Then one day he had a moderate PTSD episode and began telling me stories I never heard before. Things that…as someone just hearing the story, not experiencing it myself…gave me a tightness in my chest and a sense of…how does someone keep it together as well as he had all there years after experiencing that?

I tell you this story with my husband’s permission because our veterans need to be honored, remembered, and respected every day. Not just veterans day. And that’s why I’m happy to patron a veteran owned company.

Veteran Owned Company Zero Foxtrot

ZERO FOXTROT is a site my husband found. He wrote me a Christmas list last year that included a few items off the site. That was after he had already bought himself a few items.  He just loves their mugs. I had bought him a mug for father’s day this year and he uses it all the time.

A word of warning, it’s not for the easily offended. They do use the “F” bomb, have some dark humor, and military humor.  Honestly, that’s another reason why my husband loves it though. They have lots of items: bottle openers, shirts, hats, posters, metal signage, and even coffee.

Benefits of American Heroes Foundation and Chance to Win a GoPro

My husband served in the army for 6 years.  He’s a veteran of the Iraq war and Kosovo.  My husband isn’t one to take advantage of all the deals and offers for veterans.  I often have to encourage him.  I mean he put in his time he shouldn’t feel bad about using veteran discounts.  At least that’s my take on it.  When I mentioned this program to him though he said, go ahead, sign up for it.
