This is a very smart move by Babble Soft, the military family market is huge and word of mouth is potent, both ways. I can’t think of a better time to launch this promotion than the Memorial Day weekend.

For those of you interested in trivia, Memorial Day was first observed in 1866 to commemorate the Civil War soldiers who died, but it wasn’t until 101 years later that the observance became a Federal holiday. The tradition of honoring those who have died in war actually goes back to the ancient Athenians, with elaborate processions for the war dead are described by Thucydides. Interestingly enough, if Thucydides were here today and visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C., he likely would have referred to it as a “casualty list” that was an integral part of the Athenian tradition.

Since Trish had gone through the hardship of being away from her husband when her first child was born, we both thought it would be a great idea to join forces to offer members of her non-profit organization, eMail Our Military free subscriptions to Babble Soft applications as well as access to a discount code for 20% off purchases for non-active military and friends.
