Remember the Importance of Memorial Day

/in , /by

Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a holiday of remembering the men and women who have died while serving our country. This holiday can be powerful for many, while others see the weekend as the kick-off to summer.

Although we’re also excited for summer, please take the time to show respect to those who have fallen. On Memorial Day, the flag of the United States is raised to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until noon. The half-staff position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave their lives in service of our country. At noon when the flag goes back up, their memory is raised by the living, who resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead and continue to fight for liberty and justice for all. You see, Memorial Day may mean summer to a few people, but overall it’s a powerful holiday of remembrance.

Kick-off summer the right way, by paying your respects first. Check out the Memorial Day program at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery on May 25. Join hundreds of people in remembering the lives of those lost while service our country. Kick-off summer the right way this May!

We Recognize Armed Forces Day

/in /by

Armed Forces Day was created to establish a holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country. In the United States, Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in May, which means this year it is on May 16.

At Service Uniform, we respect all individuals in the armed forces and we know that all of our neighbors here in San Antonio, Texas do too. With Camp Bullis, Fort Sam Houston, the Randolph Air Force Base and Lackland Air Force Base located right here in our community, everyone holds a strong sense of pride for our country and for those who serve. This month, for Armed Forces Day, we salute the individuals in our home state of Texas, and those all over the country who are serving in the military.

This year, take time to say thank you to those who serve. Almost everyone knows someone who is currently serving, and if you look around you’ll spot uniforms of active military personnel almost everywhere. Military uniforms are perfect for identification but they are also an element of a large entity which is the Armed Forces. Uniforms give a strong sense of pride and draw respect for those in the Armed Forces, and we’re sure you’ll see a lot of participants this month.

Let Your Hair Down! Celebration in the Office

/in /by

It may seem like uniforms are only for up-tight and strict companies, but at Service Uniform we know that is not true! We’ve worked with many small and independent businesses who know how to work hard and have fun doing it. Employee recognition and motivation doesn’t have to always be a formal affair, and it doesn’t hurt to unbutton your collar once in a while.

May is a month full of celebrations – Cinco De Mayo, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day Weekend, etc – and we don’t think that you should save the fun exclusively for after hours! There is always a person (or a few) in the office who are great event organizers, so why not ask them to set up a company event? This could be anything from a company picnic to an in-house happy hour. As long as everyone is respectful to the company and to each other, these events can promote bonding and better relationships. Doesn’t that sound like a great way to kick-off the warm summer months?

At Service Uniform, we’re the image experts and can help your company find the right image that fits your brand. We’re all for a solid, professional look, but once in a while if you need to let your hair down and celebrate in the workplace, we’re all for it! Check out our Facebook page for photos of our office celebrations and of our mascot, Chip. For more information on company uniforms and what Service Uniform can do for you, contact us today.
