Who says one person can’t start a powerful movement? 🐥💜🐥 I never knew Allison Parliament but she founded the #duckduckjeep movement … which brings such a sense of joy to those of us in the Jeep community! Allison passed away this week and her family invited Jeepers to honor her memory with a post today. Thanks Allison for your creative influence … no doubt your legacy will continue to bring smiles to those of us in the Jeepers world! #jeep #jeepers #jeepducks #jeepowners #lovemyjeep

The quiet acts of service to others reflect the authentic heart. 💜💜💜 A simple smile, words of encouragement, taking time to focus and listen … it doesn’t have to be great things that make a difference but the heartfelt everyday actions that lift another. Thankful to those special friends and colleagues in my circle who set the example… who walk the talk without fanfare … and who have made such a meaningful impact on my life! Grateful! #leadership #integrity #example

⚓️Safe Boating Reminder!⚓️ As we head into the busy Memorial Day weekend, Yamaha Marine Center of Jacksonville FL shared this sobering video with customers featuring local boater and veteran firefighter Jamie Deonas as he shares his compelling personal survival story. Boating safety should be top-of-mind always, but especially on big boating holidays and weekends. Always remember … life jackets save lives… use them and wear them! Thank you Yamaha Marine Center for promoting boating safety! #wearyourlifejacket #boatingsafety #safeboating #yamahamarinecenter #mustangsurvivalstories #nationalsafeboatingweek
