M
ay is National Military Appreciation Month and there are as many ways to show your appreciation as there are members in the military and Veteran community. One way that Liberty Life would like to show our respect for today’s Servicemembers is by offering them a new perspective on the possibilities for their future. Too often our men and women in uniform struggle financially, both while on active duty and afterward. This strife is entirely unnecessary and preventable. All that is needed is exposure to new ideas, and a bit of math. Don’t worry, the math is simple. Playing with the numbers in different scenarios can even be quite invigorating. We hope you’ll feel that spark of excitement when you read the story on page ten. Additionally, we are delighted to introduce a new way to enjoy Liberty Life. Whether you are on the go and need a hands free experience, or just want to savor your content while you stay busy elsewhere, you can now listen to Lady Liberty tell the stories of The Liberty Coast in podcast fashion. You can find the play button for each story on LibertyLifeMedia.Com. Stop by, listen to a few stories and let us know what you think! Alas, another page has turned at Liberty Life. We have recently had to bid farewell to a very important member of our team, who has, we are proud to report, taken advantage of certain opportunities in her life. As some of you know very well, Courtney Stringfellow has been a truly invaluable member of the Liberty Life editorial staff. Her keen eye has on innumerable occasions improved the quality of our content, her stories have been well-researched and inspiring, and she consistently kept us all informed about a wide range of events that were going on in the area. We are very grateful to have had the experience of working with Courtney. Though her insight and creativity will be missed, we are cheering her on as she takes this next step forward in personal growth. Courtney, you’ll always have a home on The Liberty Coast!
