Land of the free...Because of the Brave

Not going to lie, the Super Bowl (aka the Blackout/Beyonce Bowl) this past Sunday had to be one of the most boring. Normally, I do watch for the game, but since I was not a fan of either team, I was all about the commercials and Beyonce. However, even the commercials were disappointing. The one, however, that did catch my eye (like I said in my last post) was Jeeps. For those of you who have not seen the Jeep Super Bowl commercial, here it is below.

Now...maybe I am biased. I am a military girlfriend after all. When your boyfriend is in the Air Force, it's hard not to get teary eyed at any sentimental thing that has to do with the military especially ones about our men and women in uniform coming home. However, it is what Jeep did after the commercial aired that really warmed my heart. I was looking through my twitter feed and came across a retweet by @KissMySthrnSass (if you like all the Southern, I suggest you follow her...like yesterday). It was a tweet about Operation SAFE Return with the hashtag #joinOSR. The tweet essentially said for every tweet that goes out with the hashtag #joinOSR, Jeep will donate $1 to the USO. The goal: raise $300,000 for the USO to help our servicemen and women with their return home. Not only did Jeep honor our armed forces with a really expensive commercial, but they are also giving back to them as well. I love a company that gives back especially to our military men and women. The best part is Jeep didn't need you to tag them in it. It didn't say tag or hashtag Jeep. It just said hashtag #JoinOSR. They are not begging for people to like them in order to donate or saying the charity will not get money if you do not follow them. They just want to show support for our troops and that has definitely brought them up a few notches in my book.

So...if you have not tweeted #joinOSR yet, do it now! Make sure to tag @Jeep and @the_USO in it to show your support! 

God bless our troops and bring them home safe.
