It was important to him to be involved in something that has a true impact on the freedom we enjoy as Americans. We need people to protect our land and our freedom, and he stands ready, steadfast, and selfless to do that. There\u2019s no greater pride than that as a mom.<\/p>\n<p>While serving in Korea, I got to learn about a new culture and work alongside people from all parts of the world. I learned a great deal about leadership, and it\u2019s shaped who I am today. After leaving the Air Force, I was a registered nurse for many years, before joining The Vitamin Shoppe as a part-time Health Enthusiast and rising through the ranks to become a District Sales Manager, leading a team of stores.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an honor and privilege to run in the Old Glory Relay. It\u2019s the least I can do to honor every veteran. At The Vitamin Shoppe, the very nature of our job is meant to help others live their best life by providing knowledge about solutions that support healthy lifestyles. Team RWB is doing the same for veterans by connecting them to their communities through physical and social activity. Their mission and our mission are similar. Simply put, we take care of one another.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>September 30 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Arriving at Arlington National Cemetery to take part in a wreath-laying ceremony honoring fallen American

Murfreesboro, TN to honor my late son, Spencer Bristol, a veteran of the U.S. Navy. Spencer served in the U.S. Navy for five years as a Medical Corpsman, which included a deployment to Afghanistan where he supported a Marine unit and was awarded a commendation for valor. After leaving the Navy in 2012, Spencer returned to his hometown of Hendersonville, TN, and became a police officer. In 2019, Spencer was tragically killed in the line of duty while pursuing a suspect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"28110\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/old-glory\/spencer-bristol\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol.jpeg?fit=213%2C320&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"213,320\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"Spencer Bristol\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol.jpeg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol.jpeg?fit=213%2C320&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28110 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol.jpeg?resize=200%2C300&ssl=1\" alt width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol.jpeg?resize=200%2C300&ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol.jpeg?w=213&ssl=1 213w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"28110\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/old-glory\/spencer-bristol\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol.jpeg?fit=213%2C320&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"213,320\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"Spencer Bristol\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol.jpeg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol.jpeg?fit=213%2C320&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28110 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20200%20300%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20200%20300%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol.jpeg?resize=200%2C300&ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol.jpeg?w=213&ssl=1 213w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spencer-Bristol-200x300.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Old Glory Relay hits home for me, having a son who served and fought for our country, as well as multiple family members who served. Our veterans deserve our sincere appreciation for their service and sacrifice. My son was incredibly impacted by the actions that took place on 9\/11, which led him to serve. He was a servant leader from as early as I can remember. During his time in church he worked with special needs children. And while training in martial arts, he became a student instructor for special needs children. His life was dedicated to serving others and he genuinely cared about human life.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from my work at The Vitamin Shoppe, I support my community by serving as a volunteer member of the Tennessee State Guard and as a volunteer at the local police department. I\u2019m active in the <a href=\"https:\/\/t2t.org\/\">Tunnel to Towers Foundation<\/a>, and I have organized a fundraising run this fall in Hendersonville, on a course that my son used to run as a member of his high school cross country team.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>September 26 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/bouldercrest.org\/\">Boulder Crest<\/a> in Virginia, whose mission is to

experience in the Navy and how it helped him develop problem-solving skills. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>I enlisted in the U.S. Navy because my father and his friends were career naval officers. I was an E4 (Boatswain\u2019s mate 3<sup>rd<\/sup> class). Most of the time I was on a command staff on various amphibious ships and my main duties were driving and maintaining the staff boats.<\/p>\n<p>During my time in the Navy, I learned how to apply teamwork, how to follow a defined organization and the importance of getting the job done. My military experience made me seek alternative ways to solve problems since you can\u2019t go to Home Depot in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It also taught me how to seek advice and information from others.<\/p>\n<p>I still have an affiliation with the military today and am extremely proud of my oldest grandson (pictured above), who is a Lieutenant in the Navy. I communicate with him at least once a week. He is an Air-Electronics Officer and is currently stationed at Nellis Airforce Base.<\/p>\n<p>I want the American people and my customers to realize that the military is more than trained warriors. It includes doctors, lawyers, administrative professionals, engineers, construction workers, and more. Many have chosen to stay in the armed forces even though they would have a more comfortable lifestyle and larger income as civilians.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Vitamin Shoppe Salutes Health Enthusiast Melissa Brewer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>We asked Melissa, a Health Enthusiast at our Norfolk, VA store, to share about her experience in the Navy and how it helped her become a strong leader.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"28043\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/old-glory\/melissa-brewer\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?fit=677%2C677&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"677,677\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1629720660","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"Melissa Brewer\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?fit=300%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?fit=677%2C677&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28043 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?resize=272%2C272&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?resize=560%2C560&ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?resize=250%2C250&ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?w=677&ssl=1 677w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"28043\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/old-glory\/melissa-brewer\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?fit=677%2C677&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"677,677\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1629720660","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"Melissa Brewer\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?fit=300%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?fit=677%2C677&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28043 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20300%20300%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20300%20300%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?resize=272%2C272&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?resize=560%2C560&ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?resize=250%2C250&ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer.jpg?w=677&ssl=1 677w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Melissa-Brewer-300x300.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>I joined the Navy for the adventure and to continue the tradition of service in my family as a 5<sup>th<\/sup> generation sailor. During my time in the Navy, I learned how far I could push myself both physically and mentally. The Navy also helped me understand what good leadership can do and how to apply it to my current role in retail. It shaped my ability to adapt to any situation and grow both personally and professionally from it.<\/p>\n<p>I still have a very strong connection to a lot of my former shipmates, and I volunteer at many veteran events. One of my sons is currently serving in the Virginia National Guard, as well.<\/p>\n<p>I want Americans and my customers to know that serving in the military is an experience like no other. We don\u2019t set out to be heroes; service comes in many forms, we just chose this path.<\/p>\n<p>The Vitamin Shoppe\u2019s participation in The Old Glory Relay is a wonderful way to honor veterans and remind one another that, as a country, we will always persevere when we work together.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>SEPTEMBER 18 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Running up The Pennsylvania Capitol

our country while doing something bigger and more honorable with my life. I also wanted to follow in my family\u2019s footsteps in serving. I was stationed in Camp Lejeune with V1\/2 where my rank was Corporal\/E-4 and my MOS was an 0352 Anti-Tank Missile-Man.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest lesson I learned from the Marine Corps is that the mind is stronger than the body. What I mean by this is that you can push yourself to do much more than you\u2019re capable of, but if your mind quits then so will your body. This not only applies to working out but also to your work ethic. You must push through till the end. Work ethic goes farther than intelligence in my opinion, and my military experience helped establish my strong work ethic. You can be smart but if you do not work hard to achieve your goals it will only take you so far.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m currently in inactive reserve; however, I have some very close friends who are still in the military. What I want Americans and my customers to know is that everyone\u2019s support goes a long way for those in the military. It means the world to be thanked or recognized for our service. We never brag or talk much about what we do or what happens daily. We just do our job to the best of our ability. This is one of the reasons I love that The Vitamin Shoppe is participating in the Old Glory Relay. It\u2019s a great way to show support for active-duty members and veterans.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>September 12<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Passing through Yankee Stadium!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
