As the Fourth of July has come and gone, we at Farmers took a moment to reflect on the true meaning of America’s Independence Day. When we think about our freedom and privileges that come with living in the United States, we understand it does not come without sacrifice. Our rich 86-year history as an American company has shown us the importance of our United States Armed Forces in defending these freedoms.
The Farmers Heritage Center is a great reminder that military support is part of our DNA. Prior to starting Farmers Insurance in 1928, one of our co-founders, John C. “Jack” Tyler, served in World War I. With our company being founded on an engrained culture of supporting our troops, we naturally continue to be proud supporters of our men and women in uniform.
Farmers doesn’t only support our customers and members of our local communities in the U.S. Armed Forces; our Farmers family serves alongside them with many of our current agents, employees, and district managers being current or former military members. We support Farmers’ servicemembers in many ways, whether it be managing agencies on behalf of our deployed agency owners, providing flexible schedules to accommodate military training, or simply sending care packages to our employees and agents deployed abroad. We are also focusing on providing opportunities to those servicemembers making the transition from military to civilian careers, recognizing they have gained valuable skills while serving our country.
A few weekends ago, we were proud to launch our partnership with G.I. Jobs, a leading resource for military to civilian transition. With a special patriotic paint scheme, our NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne raced the No. 5 Farmers Insurance G.I. Jobs Chevrolet SS around the Daytona International Speedway. There are few things more American than NASCAR and it was a special moment to see the car in the red, white and blue of our nation’s flag. During the race weekend, we also announced an exclusive opportunity in recognition of our nation’s strongest leaders.
Through October 8, current and former military members can enter for a chance to win a VIP experience to meet Kasey Kahne and watch him race in Phoenix, Arizona on November 9, just prior to Veterans Day. We will choose five winners, one from each branch of the United States Armed Forces. If you, a family member or friend are eligible, please visit BeAFarmersAgent.com/AmericanHeroes to learn more and enter.
Thank you from The Wertzberger Agency to all our current and former military members for your service. We truly appreciate your sacrifices to protect our country.
