About Us
Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed.
—Abraham Lincoln, August 21, 1858.
President Lincoln’s words are as true today as they were in his own time. As America’s Airmen—Active, Guard and Reserve—face any threat to our nation’s liberty, our success will depend on the support of the American people. As families and communities across the nation share the burdens of their Airmen’s service, we must all work to cultivate relationships and partnerships that undergird public support.
In 2002, the United States Air Force started the “Your Guardians of Freedom” Pin Program as a way for Airmen to recognize the essential support provided by parents and spouses, and for parents and spouses to show their support and solidarity for Air Force. From 2003 to 2008, Mind & Media and Digital Press managed the Air Force’s program and delivered over 900,000 lapel pins. In 2008, the Air Force issued an exclusive license for us to offer Parent, Spouse, and Veteran pins directly to the public.
We are the only source of these officially authorized, trademarked pins, and are proud to offer a high-quality product at an affordable price, allowing the Air Force family to show each other and the public their appreciation, dedication and support.
