Over the years of living in the ’system’, volunteering on base and working as a Civil Servant here on Lackland for the past 8 years… I have seen and lived through deployments, reassignments, separation’s and the hardships that ALL military families suffer through.

That is the reason I work with Operation Love ReUnited and made available a Military Discount on my sessions and prints.

A month or so ago I received an invitation to sign up as a vendor on a site called MilitaryAvenue.com and my profile mentions my “military discount”. Military Avenue.com knows that finding military-friendly businesses in new communities and resources that aid our mobile lifestyle can become an overwhelming task. Their site was created to attempt to ease these burdens! I haven’t been tracking how many people it has driven to my site, but I have it out there just in case one family sees it and wants to take me up on the offer.

Today in my email I get this:

Melinda, Good afternoon from the Team at MilitaryAvenue.com! Other Than Roses Photographyhas been recognized by our Team for its MilitaryReward.
