Weber Merritt Proudly Supports “I Served” Stickers

August 11, 2009 · Washington, DC

OBX, BB and HH are just a few of the beach-town stickers you’ve seen on car bumpers.  And if Scott Kreger has his way, every veteran returning from duty in Iraq and Afghanistan will have free stickers bearing the abbreviation “IRQ” or “AFG” with the words “I Served” underneath.

“I hope that people will approach our courageous veterans and thank them for their service when they see the sticker,” says Kreger, who created the concept.  “I also see these stickers as a way for fellow veterans to identify and talk with each other. These connections could lead to networking opportunities, jobs and support in tough times.”

Weber Merritt is proud to support Kreger’s initiative with media relations counsel that so far has earned him news coverage in outlets such as NBC4, Fox 5, WTOP and the Washington Times.

The first wave of 200,000 stickers shipped in early August and will appear in towns across all 50 states and the U.S. territories, as well as the coalition troop countries, including Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.

The project is funded entirely by private donations.  Kreger has raised nearly $40,000 of the $100,000 he anticipates needing to cover printing and mailing for 1.5 million stickers to give to every soldier who has served or might serve in Iraq and Afghanistan.  For more information, or to make a tax-deductible donation, please visit http://www.iservedsticker.org.
