Adams Outdoor along with Magic Media have joined Lamar Outdoor and Clear Channel Outdoor and Airports to campaign for our Troops! Be sure to watch for the digital backlit ONF billboards in your city. Thank you billboard companies for helping us make the difference for thousands of service members and military families! Below are only some examples of what these billboards, videos and signs look like when running.
ONF Lee Greenwood Campaign in LA by Lamar
Adams Outdoor posted a variety of ONF billboards supporting our troops. On the 4th of July, Madison Wisconsin was the first city to display billboards for gold star and blue star families. Since then, other cities followed their footsteps and more gold star families participated. These billboards help educate the public by bringing awareness to what “gold” and “blue star” means. The billboard messages serve as a voice for military families. The campaigns give them satisfaction that our nation is reminded of the commitments and sacrifices made by their loved ones. Contact ONF if you know of any special gold star or blue star events happening so that ONF can research digital billboard availability in your area.

ONF founder Linda Kelly interviewed on WJR Radio 760, with popular radio talk personality Frank Beckman, Detroit. The following day, another interview with Kelly aired on WWJ NewsRadio 950. Both interviews introduced ONF’s mission and kickoff with a flyover banner at a football game.
Kelly interviewed with Dale Throneberry on Veterans Radio which is America’s favorite veteran’s radio program with an audience of more than 100,000 listeners. The program is heard on stations in Michigan, Florida, Louisiana and California, plus a world wide audience on Veterans Radio.
Kelly first presented the need for supporting the troops through creative commercial advertising with the Rolling Thunder, a publication and motorcycle rally in Washington, DC. They provide benefits for wounded warriors and information on POW/MIA, active duty military and veteran support issues.
Kelly then introduced her concept to several congressional staff members in Washington and to the USMC Public Relations Office at the Pentagon. After positive feedback, she continued to work closely with blue-star parents, gold-star families and other organizations supporting the members of the armed forces and their families. Kelly’s personal involvement with her Marine son and Navy husband, each having served and son still serving in Iraq, has fueled her motivation to keep producing these heartfelt ONF campaigns.
