Scott's View: Our National Guard's Birthday & the Latest Holiday Exclusives

Scott Higgins, WeSalute Co-founder & Co-CEO

Scott's View

First off, a big shout out and a Happy Birthday to the U.S. Army National Guard. Our "citizen soldiers" are 384 years old this week! Organized on December 13th, 1636, they met for their first drill three months later, on the village green in Salem, Massachusetts.

Each year, shoppers are warned to finish their holiday shopping early, so gifts arrive by Christmas. With the surge in online shopping this year, there are major shipping delays. So, if you want your gifts to arrive by December 25, you’ve got to act now.

Be sure to check out your shopping exclusives in the Everyday Shopping category of the Military Discounts Marketplace. Our latest exclusives include Personalization Mall, Acer, Motel 6, Helix Sleep and Birch Living mattresses, Allform Furniture, and The New York Times digital subscriptions.

Stay safe and healthy!

Cover Story: “Black Hawk Down” Comes Back into Perspective Over 30 Years Later

 In the storied annals of military history, there are tales that transcend time, serving as reminders of the indomitable spirit and unwavering courage of those who wear the uniform. One such narrative unfolded in the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia, where Retired U.S. Army Maj. Larry Moores etched his name into the annals of valor, culminating in a long-overdue recognition with the Silver Star Medal.

Cover Story: How & Why WeSalute Was Founded 25 Years Ago

 WeSalute founders Scott and Lin Higgins have spent a lifetime in the military community, from Scott’s combat service in Vietnam and the service of Lin’s father in WWII, to serving families and veterans through the creation of memorials and parades as part of charitable and government initiatives. It was this lifetime of service that led them to establish WeSalute, originally founded as Veterans Advantage, and to continue giving back.
