Quite an Honor
Though it has been about a month, we wanted to let everyone know how honored we were to be guests at the Medal of Honor Convention’s Patriot’s Dinner and awards ceremony.
We were lucky enough to be selected by The South Carolina State Guard to build a web campaign around the event which took place here in Charleston, and honored the military’s past and present recipients of the Medal of Honor. We managed and promoted the Facebook page, gaining a following of close to 2,900 friends, and were quite a go-to source for all things Medal of Honor. We also created the website, and had a blast with the creative freedom (no pun intended).
For the better part of this past year, our veins were coursing with American Pride as the event drew near. At the start of the weekend, busses and police escorts flooded the streets downtown near our office as many of the recipients staying at the Mills House went from place to place. Finally, with our bestest of friends in tow, we were suited in our finest rented garments and went to the closing event – The Patriot’s Dinner. Nearly all of the living recipients of The Medal of Honor were in attendance. It was truly an event to remember, and will live on in our memories as one of the great projects we’ve had the pleasure to work on.
Didn’t think we would be so drawn into it, but we’re seriously thinking about making the trek up to Louisville next year. Especially if we get another chance to hang with our new friend Lt. Dan.
