Since its founding, Two Marines Moving has been built around two ideas.

The first was a business opportunity. Clients needed movers they could trust. People who would show up on time. Take responsibility. Communicate professionally. And treat client property with care.

The second was a mission. A desire to continue working alongside military veterans after military service ended.

The intersection of those two ideas became Two Marines Moving.

Over the years, that commitment attracted attention from clients, business organizations, media outlets, and government agencies.

Why Veteran Employment Was Part of the Mission

From the beginning, hiring veterans was never about charity. It was about capability.

Military veterans often arrive with experience that translates directly into civilian business operations. Those experiences frequently include:

• Teamwork
• Accountability
• Discipline
• Professionalism
• Leadership
• Operating under pressure

Those qualities contribute to better outcomes for clients and stronger teams inside organizations.

A Workforce Built on Experience

Over the years, Two Marines Moving has employed veterans and service members from across the Armed Forces, including:

• Marine Corps
• Army
• Navy
• Air Force
• National Guard
• Reserve Components

The organization has also employed:

• Veterans transitioning into civilian careers
• Reservists and Guardsmen continuing military service
• Active-duty personnel working weekends
• Veterans pursuing education through the GI Bill

People arrive for different reasons. What they often share is experience operating in a team environment where accountability and execution matter.

At the time of the Department of Labor recognition, nearly one hundred veterans were employed through Two Marines Moving in meaningful civilian roles.

Why the Department of Labor Took Notice

The Department of Labor's recognition was not based on a slogan. It was based on measurable outcomes.

The Hire Vets Medallion Award recognized a company actively creating employment opportunities for veterans and integrating veteran hiring into its operating model. The recognition highlighted the idea that veteran employment is not only beneficial for veterans themselves, but contributes directly to business performance.

Veterans often arrive with experience in:

• Working within teams
• Following procedures
• Leading people
• Managing responsibility
• Completing missions

Those traits frequently translate into:

• Better execution
• Greater professionalism
• Improved consistency
• Stronger client experiences

The Hire Vets Medallion Award

The Hire Vets Medallion Award is one of the most visible veteran-employment recognitions available to employers in the United States. The award recognizes organizations demonstrating a sustained commitment to recruiting, employing, and developing military veterans.

What makes the Hire Vets Medallion Award particularly notable is that it was not limited to a certificate or plaque.

Why We Preserve This Record

Historical records matter. They provide context. They preserve milestones. They preserve perspective.

This Hire Vets Medallion Award recognition documents how a federal agency viewed the company's veteran employment efforts during a specific period in its history. It provides another independent perspective on principles that continue to influence the company today:

• Veteran employment
• Leadership
• Accountability
• Opportunity creation
• Professional development
• Operational excellence
