Veteran’s Marketing Memo

Military veterans stood up for our country and are not recognized enough for their dedication. There are many programs dedicated to providing assistance to veterans but not many ways to reward them for their devoted service to their country. Many veterans have been affected due to combat and some need help transitioning from military life to a civilian. As the director of for a military veterans foundation I must raise money to create a fallen heroes monument.
The first step is to identify the demographic and psychographic in my development. For demographics we would need to make the location an area that it has a good support system for veterans. After doing a lot of research Arlington, Virginia has many support systems in place for veterans. Here also lays the Veterans National Cemetery. In addition this area has a lot of retired veterans who have made this city their home after they are discharged from the Armed forces. I identified this area as the primary prospect location for the fallen heroes monument due to some of the psychographics that would play a major role in this project, beliefs and values. Being that the area is already very familiar with veteran’s affairs and it has become part of their culture. The population has a high statistic count for retired veterans that will provide a lot of support in attending and helping raise money for fallen soldiers that were lost at war. The targeted age group would range from 18 - 75. This age group covers previous and recent wars that many of these veterans were part of or the likelihood is that someone in their family was part of. Within these age group there will also be many service members currently serving the country on active duty or reserve.
How do demographics influence our fundraiser in a productive outcome? If we decide to do it in a different location where there are not as much military presence, would the outcome be as successful? The location is the key and what

    The United States has paid a lot of respect to the soldiers that have fought in the military. Our nation has countless cemeteries that honor our soldiers that have fought and/or died in the military. Our nation has 135 national cemeteries and 33 soldier monuments in 40 states. Although there are numberless military cemeteries, the most famous is Arlington National Cemetery. Arlington National Cemetery is located in Virginia and faces the nation's capital Washington, D.C. There are rows upon rows of white headstones that greatly honor the people that earned the right to rest in peace in Arlington. Arlington now is peaceful, quiet, and a place to see in remembrance of people that are buried there. Although it was not always a peaceful place,…

    For my conceptual memorial I decided to pay a homage to both the fallen American soldiers in Vietnam, and the American citizens back on the homefront promoting peace and an end to the war. During the war, America had been involved in direct combat from 1961 all through till their defeat in 1975. During this time of direct-involvement over 50,000 troops met their end, and back home an outpour of emotion and sorrow was displayed. American citizens were no longer in approval of the war, and so began an era of the promotion of peace and love. Without this intense amount of protest by “hippies” and the heavy feel of anti-American involvement in the war, it is possible that many more American lives could have been lost. It is this promotion of peace…

    When organizing the Veterans assembly I would have never thought that so many veterans and community members would be so greatly impacted. While the assembly was taking place there where many Veterans who cried throughout the event, the impact this activity had on them was that we showed them how thankful we are for the things that they did for us even when they did not know us. This impacted them because it showed them that they are people who we are thankful for because without them our country would not be the great place it is today. This activity made them see that all of their hard work and suffering was worth it, and that future generations are willing to give them the respect that they deserve.…

    The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is absolutely appropriate for honoring the veterans of the Vietnam War. The memorial represents the sacrifices made by the soldiers who had to fight the war in Vietnam. Designer Maya Lin created a simple, thoughtful, and incredibly powerful monument that focused on the soldiers themselves, and made many veterans and their families feel recognized. Since this was the first monument of its kind, it was bound to ruffle some feathers. The overall public opinion of the Vietnam Memorial will lead to designers to be more experimental in memorial…

    There is a lot that goes into building monuments. When memorializing an event or person by creating a monument a group or agency should consider the monument’s historical significance, make it extraordinary and authoritative, and put it in a proper place. There are a lot of details that go into building a monument, but I feel that those are the most important to think about. If those three things are completed properly then the monument will most likely be successful.…

    The problem today is that veterans are becoming more and more homeless. For too many of these citizens, help is hard to come by. According to Green Doors, 96% of veterans come from poverty, low-income families. Many say that homeless veterans are males, but female veterans are becoming more homeless as the years go on. In the year 2006, 150 female veterans were from the Iraqi and Afghanistan Wars; then in the year 2011, there were 1,700 female veterans (Green Doors). Also in the year 2011, 18% of the people helped by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) were females (Green Doors). About 53% of veterans are homeless…

    In the article, “The Vietnam Veterans Memorial: Commemorating a Difficult Past”, Wagner and Schwartz state three issues that arise when a memorial will be constructed. “(1) the social problems of fixing painful parts of the past (a military defeat, a generation of unredeemed veterans) in the public consciousness, (2) the political problem of commemorating an event for which there is no national consensus, and (3) the cultural problem of working through and against traditional expectations about the war memorial genre” (Wagner and Schwartz). As a group, Americans had to cooperate with one another to determine what the memorial would symbolize. Even though this process sounds simple, it is the opposite because every individual views the Vietnam War in a different form. With no guidelines, the masses had to decide what the significance of the memorial would be and to many the memorial would recognize the troops that died in combat, while to others the memorial would demonstrate a lesson to avoid in the…
