I work for The Mirazon Group in Louisville, KY. We are a small IT consulting firm with about 25 employees. Myself and a co-worker both have sons in the U.S. Marine Corps recently deployed to Afghanistan. During our last company meeting they presented the 2 of us with 3′x5′ Blue Star Flags for our home and have hung a 3′x5′ Blue Star Flag by the main entrance at the office in support of our sons. They have also placed collection boxes in the office for employees to donate items for care packages.
This type of support is just a small example of the type of people I work with, it makes the experience much easier to handle when you have this type of support from the people you work with on a Daily basis.
Thanks to everyone for the support given to all of our Troops; we pray for them and their families daily!

Absolutely warms my heart to know a company would take action and show their appreciation for these marines. It’s these type of companies I look for to do my business with. Hope more begin to surface. Thank you Mirazon for setting such a thoughtful example for others.
Your story brought tears to my eyes. Our co-workers are the ones we spend the most time with on a daily basis; how comforting to have a co-worker with a child serving in the same branch of the service. No one else can understand you like another Marine parent. My son too is a Marine and I know the look people give you when they ask how’s you son??? Infantry Marine!!! Your employer was so thoughtful in thinking of the 2 star flag for the office…I am truly touched by their thoughtfulness. You and your co-worker have been added to my prayer list. Semper Gumby!
