One of our former account executives recently paid us an incredible compliment. Stephen Harmon worked with us back in 2006 and was very good at what he did. But he had a dream of serving in the military like many in his family. Initially the army turned him down (which is why in went into advertising in the first place), but later changed it’s mind and made him an offer.
Stephen talked about how difficult the decision was, but he eventually left to begin basic training. Recently he was assigned overseas, but he took a small piece of FitzMartin with him. We could not be more proud of Stephen and the hard road he’s chosen to follow. Keep him in your prayers.

Stephen just informed me he is on his way to Iraq. We are proud of him and glad to have him as our representative there. Good luck to you Stephen and Godspeed!
Hello from Iraq! I love the post. That “assault pack” has already seen some good missions.
So far, the deployment has been great (safe). I am the platoon leader for 25 soldiers, all happy to be here and finally getting to do the job they trained for. Our mission is training Iraqi soldiers and local policemen. On good days we run counter smuggling operations, interdicting drugs, firearms and explosives all with local law enforcement. It is a good fit for me.
My marketing skills come out often in the briefs, reports, brochures, presentations and other “products” I create each day. It has really helped me stand out with my command and communicate life saving information well. It may seem strange to some, but those skills may be more important than the ones I use to fight with.
Thanks for keeping up with me!

Stephen – if you can give life to Mr. Green Frog (who still lives on and gives us good memories of you), I’m sure your marketing skills are awesome. Wishing you only the best and thanks for serving my wonderful country. Peace and love!
