We Found the Popcorn!
The Central Missouri Honor Flight embarked Tuesday, May 7, on its 22nd flight to take local veterans to Washington, D.C. to see the memorials dedicated to their honor.
Socket was proud to make a holiday donation in 2012 to send 10 veterans on this Honor Flight. (We thought it was a better way to thank our customers than sending them a tin of popcorn.)
Doug Ragland, Socket's director of marketing and consumer sales, joined the crowd to welcome the veterans home early Wednesday morning.
"It was a truly inspirational experience," Ragland said. "If you haven't seen 500 motorcycles rumbling through the night on a mission like this, you're missing out."
Despite the late hour, several family members, friends and other citizens were in attendance to welcome the veterans back to the Courtyard by Marriott in Columbia. Each was introduced and honored with waving flags and cheers from the crowd while bagpipes played patriotic tunes.
"I just viewed this as a way to pay forward the welcome home that I received as a soldier returning home after the first Gulf War," Ragland said. "It's an experience I'll never forget and hope all veterans have."

Mat Harrison was selected as Socket's You-Make-the-Difference-Award winner for March. His fellow co-workers decided his ability to move things to a state of awesomeness was worthy of recognition.

Sometimes you’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, and know when to fold ‘em. Perhaps maybe our poker players should’ve folded more often but that didn’t keep them from having a blast at this year’s Dream Factory Poker Tournament.
Here at Socket, we like to support local Columbia and mid-Missouri charitable organizations and events. Columbia and its surrounding communities have given so much to us, so we like to give back however we can.
Sometimes, you just know a person is awesome. Even if you can’t put your finger on exactly why.
