Not only is today Flag Day, it's also the Army's 246th birthday! So on this #MilitaryMonday, we would like to show our appreciation by sharing this photo with the symbol of our freedom—and those who sacrifice so much to protect us.

(A big thanks to Loudmouth for the gear seen here!)

Bunkers in Baghdad is proud to announce we’ve hit another million milestone! The shipment of our 12 millionth golf ball is officially making its way across the world to a U.S. military base at this very moment.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our generous partners at Callaway Golf, Topgolf, the Buffalo Bills, the Buffalo Sabres, Official Loudmouth Golf, DICK'S Sporting Goods, ADPRO Sports, and Goldberg Segalla (to name just a few), along with the thousands of students and teachers across the country who participate in our "Bunkers Buddies" program. Our continued efforts are only possible because of the generous donations and efforts of supporters like you.

As the holiday weekend approaches, it is important that we remember to reflect on the sacrifices our countless military heroes have made. We are grateful to all those who have served and for everything they have given for our great country. We also remember those who have fallen and salute those who continue to carry on their mission.

These photos come from a group of brave men and women currently stationed in Kuwait. It's difficult to explain how much joy it brings seeing our military members smiling because they received some equipment we have shipped to them. What we do for you can never repay what you do for us. Thank you for your selfless service and for keeping all of us safe!

"It has been a blast getting to blow off some steam by hitting some balls." That note from a soldier we shipped equipment to is giving us all the motivation we need to start the week off strong. As always, we thank our brave men and women in the military and hope you know we appreciate all you do and have done for us. #MilitaryMonday

We just received a photo from a soldier we shipped equipment to with a note that says, "These are AWESOME!" The fact that we can bring such excitement to our brave men and women in our military is exactly why we do what we do. We may not understand what you go through each and every day, but we are always thankful and always mindful of your selfless service to our great country.

Nothing starts the work week off quite like an email from one of our brave military members that Bunkers has been lucky enough to help: "We have received all of the donations and I want to extend a tremendous THANK YOU!! To you and all of the volunteers that were able to send us these. We were overwhelmed with the generosity and they will absolutely be put to good use!"

As always, we thank the brave men and women serving our country and are honored to send you a slice of home. #militarymonday

As Women's History Month winds down, we wanted to share a few more photos of some brave women in our military. We salute all that you have done—and look forward to all that you will accomplish. Thank you for keeping us safe. #TBT

Halfway through Women's History Month, we continue throwing it back to some photos we've received featuring the brave women in our military. These pictures came to us in 2017 from a soldier deployed in Turkey. She thanked us for sending equipment her way and we want to thank her—and all our military members—for their continued dedication to our country. #TBT

Since March is Women's History Month, we thought we'd throw it back to a few of our favorite photos over the years showing some brave women enjoying equipment we've sent their way. #FBF

It is hard to believe that five years ago this month we celebrated partnering with our 300th school through our Bunkers Buddies program. Since meeting these students at Pioneer Central School, we have been lucky enough to have more than 800 additional schools join us as partners! We could not be more thankful for all the support these students and schools provide to Bunkers and our military members serving this great country. #tbt

A big thanks to the Fore Golfers Network podcast for having our President Joe Hanna on this past weekend for an in-depth interview touching on the inception of Bunkers and why our non-profit means so much to our troops. Have a listen:

A soldier we shipped golf equipment to recently sent us the amazing gift of a flag flown over Camp Alpha in Bagram, Afghanistan on July 4, 2020. A thank you note he enclosed sums up why we do what we do: "We were able to spend many nights on our roof hitting balls and forgetting the rough times we endured." We thank this soldier—and all our brave men and women—for everything they do in the name of our freedom. #MilitaryMonday

From day one, we have been lucky enough to receive an outpouring of support from pro sports teams across the country. Today we are throwing it back an entire decade to one of the first major events we took part in: The Miami Marlins Celebrity Golf Classic, which was held this week in 2011. The Marlins organization is committed to making a difference, finding ways to help multiple charities including Bunkers. We will never forget this day—and never forget the Marlins support of our mission to send golf equipment to our troops. #tbt

Bunkers in Baghdad provides U.S. service members with golf equipment

Over the long weekend, our President and Founder Joe Hanna had the honor of appearing on the GolfChannel's "Golf Today" with Damon Hack and Shane Bacon. Joe discussed the reason he started Bunkers, the impact it has had on our military, and ways Bunkers has tried to diversify the game of golf.

Watch the interview here:

President and founder of Bunkers in Baghdad Joe Hanna joins Golf Today to talk about his initiative to bring the game of golf to service members deployed overseas.

Happy Presidents Day! Today we give a big Bunkers salute to our Commanders-in-Chief who not only loved the game of golf, but also served our great country. Our thanks goes to Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush!

A soldier stationed in Afghanistan once suggested we change our name from "Bunkers in Baghdad" to "Bunkers in Baghdad + Bagram." Though we didn't take him up on the idea, we are still just as proud to support our military as we were when first receiving this picture seven years ago . #TBT

A Deployed Military Member Offering Thanks

On this #MilitaryMonday, we're letting one of our best and bravest share what our shipment of clubs and balls means to him—and show how he's perfecting his game!

Eight years ago, our leader Joe Hanna had the honor of being profiled in Golf Digest about the motivation behind starting Bunkers. Though much has changed since this story was first published, our commitment to the brave men and women serving in our military has not. We've shipped nearly 12 million golf balls and nearly a million golf clubs—and we have no plans of stopping anytime soon. #TBT

We would not be able to carry out our mission without great partners like ADPRO Sports. Today we would like to especially thank our friends Ron Raccuia and Tom Naples for their ongoing support and generosity. The new Bunkers’ bag tags are perfect!

Four years ago we received these photos from a soldier who was documenting his deployment experience through social media. As we search for how to convey our gratitude to him—and all of our military—we have decided to leave it to our Bunkers Buddies, who shared their words with these brave men and women: "Thank you for serving our country and keeping us safe. You inspire to me to make a difference when I grow up." #TBT
