LIBERTY VOICES: FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK
Email your pitches for an opportunity to build your portfolio and join our growing team! Submissions@LibertyLifeMedia.com Liberty Life’s mission is to support The Liberty Coast’s military, Veterans, and their families by informing and connecting them to the community. I look forward to seeing how we evolve and what we will learn. We know the indisputable about the installations and operations. We eagerly anticipate discovering the unknowns and adding those to The Liberty Coast’s story. The evolution will come as subtle shifts we may not immediately notice, as well as Blinding Flashes of the Obvious (BFO)—what fun! I just finished listening to a podcast by Malcolm Gladwell. He visited Jacksonville to see a scatterplot developed by Built for Zero leader Dawn Gilman, the CEO of Changing Homelessness. Gladwell wanted to understand how knowing each individual by name has radically changed their efforts to end Veteran homelessness. And there it was: a great big BFO! The Military and Veteran Registry was born. Now, being a retired squid, I wanted to call it a Cruise Book. Anyway, as we encourage you to tell us the news, stories, events, resources, services and history of The Liberty Coast, we also want to get to know you, each of you who serves and has served: Liberty Lifers. Tell us your story—okay, the basics. From there, we will unearth the sea stories and battlefield tales, the transition to civilian life and career stories, and all the others we don’t yet know. You share YOUR story or tell us someone whose story should be told. Here’s how: Visit LibertyLifeMedia.com/Submissions and submit Your Story.
