At this time of the year, we can’t get enough news around good deeds, especially when it involves something close to our hearts – our military servicemen. Credit Unions are typically buying gift cards in bulk as incentives to new customer incentives, but this year the Service Credit Union of Portsmouth, New Hampshire is giving for another reason. The Credit Union’s President/CEO Gordon Simmons has awarded 70 gift cards totaling $3,500 to Colonel Paul "Hutch" Hutchinson, commander
157th Air Refueling Wing, New Hampshire Air National Guard at Pease Air National Guard Base. The gift cards will be distributed to Seacoast area service families in honor of the holidays and their continued dedication to our nation. “It's a unique circumstance that these families are facing financial challenges while already giving so much for their country," Simmons said. "We appreciate their sacrifice and hope these gift cards make purchasing for family celebrations a little easier." Today (Dec 13, 2011) The National Guard celebrates 375 years of dedicated service to our states and nation. Companies buy gift cards in bulk for many reasons, but this is a top pick for GCP. Source
