Some recognition matters more than others.
When Two Marines Moving was honored by the U.S. Department of Labor for our commitment to hiring and gainfully employing United States veterans, it wasn’t because we asked for it—and it wasn’t because of a marketing campaign.
It was because our mission was observed, evaluated, and validated by a third party whose job is to recognize real workforce impact.
That matters to us.
And it should matter to our clients as well.
Why Veteran Employment Is Core to Who We Are
Two Marines Moving was founded at the intersection of two realities.
The first was a market need: clients needed movers they could trust—people who would show up on time, take responsibility, and treat their belongings with care.
The second was a service mission: a desire to continue serving alongside fellow veterans after military service ended.
That intersection shaped everything that followed.
Hiring veterans was never about charity. It was about capability.
Veterans bring with them:
- Team training
- Accountability
- Discipline
- Respect for standards
- Experience operating under pressure
Those traits translate directly into better outcomes for clients.
A Workforce Built on Real Experience
Today, Two Marines Moving employs veterans from across the U.S. Armed Forces, including the Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, National Guard, and Reserve components.
Our workforce includes:
- Veterans transitioning to civilian careers
- Reservists and National Guard members who continue to serve
- Active‑duty personnel who work on weekends
- Veterans using the GI Bill while attending school
People work here for different reasons—but they share a common foundation: they know how to operate as a team.
At the time of the Department of Labor recognition, nearly 100 veterans were employed through Two Marines Moving in meaningful, gainful roles.
Why Hiring Veterans Is Also a Smart Business Decision
The Department of Labor recognition highlights something we’ve believed from the beginning:
Hiring veterans isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a smart business decision.
Veterans arrive already trained in:
- Working as part of a unit
- Following and executing procedures
- Respecting chain of command
- Completing the mission without excuses
That translates into:
- Better move‑day execution
- Fewer mistakes
- Higher professionalism
- A more consistent client experience
This is not about symbolism.
It’s about performance.
The Hire Vets Medallion: Recognition That Actually Means Something
The Hire Vets Medallion Award from the U.S. Department of Labor is not a participation trophy.
It’s not about a plaque.
It’s not about something that “looks good on a brochure.”
It is recognition of real work, measured impact, and sustained commitment.
That’s why the Department of Labor didn’t just send a certificate—they sent a professional film crew to document what was happening inside Two Marines Moving.
That alone speaks volumes.
