What Does Your Storefront or Website Tell the Military Community? MAPP Tip!
Last week we were traveling to Ft Riley, KS to attend and help support a special military spouse event. As always we featured our partners and what you bring to the military community!

Does your sign or website do that? Does it say “Welcome”?…

What does PCS mean to our MilitaryAvenue Partners?
Military acronyms are frequently a source of curiosity by our civilian family and friends and a source of much humor in the military community! Recently, my father, a WW2 veteran, told me of an acronym used by his pastor in a sermon that had its origin in WW2 GI slang and had become part of American culture and language. When the minister was informed of what he had just said if the acronym had been spelt out in its entirety, he was pretty surprised.
