ESCANABA, Mich. (WZMQ) – A nationwide retailer helped to keep America’s servicemen and women warm this Veterans Day.
On Wednesday, Shoe Sensation gifted veterans a free pack of socks, usually priced at $5, along with a coupon to use in-store. Escanaba Shoe Sensation Manager Marge Derkos says the promotion is part of the company’s longstanding tradition of dedication to veterans.
“It’s important to us to give back to the [veteran] community because they are the ones that have kept us free, and freedom isn’t free,” said Derkos. “We need to support veterans as long as we can because they’re getting far and few between. We just need to give back to them because they’ve given to us.”
The promotion coincides with Shoe Sensation’s Socks 4 Troops campaign, which brings in tens of thousands of socks for active-duty service members and veterans each holiday season.
