Aerial Resupply Coffee: Brewed with Distinction, Served with Honor
In the crowded landscape of coffee roasters, there's a unique and compelling player that stands out from the crowd - Aerial Resupply Coffee Company. This is no ordinary coffee business, but one infused with the dedication and commitment emblematic of our Nation's finest. As a veteran-owned and operated roastery, Aerial Resupply Coffee Company stands as a testament to the spirit of service, brewed into each and every cup.
Our mission - "Support those who support others" - serves as a compass guiding all our endeavors. We strive to create an environment that embraces and honors all veterans, active military, their families, and those backing law enforcement and first responders. Rejecting the ubiquitous "macho bro-vet" culture, we have chosen a path of unity, respect, and camaraderie.
Welcome to Aerial Resupply Coffee, where every sip is a salute to those who serve, and those who support them.
The Mission: Support Those Who Support Others
Our mission at Aerial Resupply Coffee Company is as profound as it is clear-cut: "Support those who support others." It's more than just a tagline—it's a principle we live by. It's a directive that underscores every bag of coffee we roast and every relationship we cultivate in our community.
Distinct from the typical "macho bro-vet" culture witnessed in the broader veterans' entrepreneurial landscape, Aerial Resupply Coffee champions a different narrative. We've consciously deviated from the aggressive marketing and weapon-themed imagery often associated with veteran-owned businesses. Instead, we chose to build a brand around the core concept of support.
The mission is not about setting ourselves apart in the market. It's about kindling the spirit of unity, respect, and camaraderie, underscoring the essence of service that resonates with all veterans, active military, their families, and supporters of law enforcement and first responders.
In a world often focused on the individual, we stand as a reminder of the power of collective effort and mutual support. As they have dedicated their lives to supporting us, it's now our turn to have their backs. This sense of reciprocal support forms the foundation of our mission, weaving a strong thread of mutual respect and appreciation into every fiber of our operations.
Welcome to Aerial Resupply Coffee, where we brew more than just coffee—we cultivate connections, foster community, and serve those who serve others.
Distinction: Aerial Resupply Coffee versus Others
In the world of veteran-owned coffee businesses, a few names may come to mind - Black Rifle Coffee Company, Blackout Coffee, and Invader Coffee. Each of these businesses carries its own ethos and style, contributing to the collective identity of veteran-operated enterprises. But how does Aerial Resupply Coffee stand out in this bustling marketplace?
The crux of our distinction lies in the subtle yet impactful departure from the aggressive marketing and militant imagery often deployed by the aforementioned companies. While these brands have garnered attention through high-octane branding tactics, Aerial Resupply Coffee embraces a different approach. We lean into the values of service, unity, and mutual support, centering our branding around these core principles.
Where some companies may use the backdrop of weaponry and combat to draw their customer base, Aerial Resupply Coffee believes in harnessing the power of community and the unparalleled flavor of our premium, gourmet coffee. We have cultivated an atmosphere where veterans, active military, their families, and supporters of law enforcement and first responders can gather, not in the shadow of conflict, but in the light of camaraderie and shared experiences.
At Aerial Resupply Coffee, we're not just selling coffee - we're fostering relationships, bridging gaps, and building a supportive network around a shared love of quality coffee. And that's what truly sets us apart.
The Method: Premium Coffee and Community
Every great mission requires a method, a means to turn lofty ideals into tangible reality. At Aerial Resupply Coffee, that method is twofold - offering premium, gourmet coffee and building an engaged and supportive community.
Coffee, in its essence, is more than just a drink. It's a ritual, a comfort, a conversation starter, and for many, an essential part of the day. Recognizing this, we channel our passion into roasting coffee that is not only high in quality but also serves as a catalyst for connection. Each cup invites our customers to pause, savor the moment, and appreciate the care and commitment that goes into every roast.
But our method extends beyond the beans. Our mission of support is brought to life through our emphasis on community. We have created an atmosphere that transcends the transactional nature of a typical business-customer relationship. Instead, we strive to cultivate a sense of belonging, a space where veterans, active military, their families, and those who support law enforcement and first responders can gather and connect over shared experiences and a mutual love for coffee.
In fostering this community, we're not just serving coffee, we're serving connection. Each conversation sparked, each story shared, and each bond formed within our community underscores our commitment to our mission: to support those who support others. Through our premium coffee and our dedicated community, Aerial Resupply Coffee offers a unique blend of quality and camaraderie that fuels our collective purpose.
The Vision: Building an Inclusive Community for Modern Veterans
Amid the myriad of veteran organizations, Aerial Resupply Coffee Company identifies a tangible void. Many veterans from the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, also known as OIF/OEF veterans, often feel disenfranchised with traditional organizations like the VFW and American Legion. These organizations, although historically significant, have struggled to bridge the generational gap and adapt to the needs and experiences of modern veterans. As a result, a large cohort of our nation's heroes feel they have no place to go.
Our vision at Aerial Resupply Coffee is to change this narrative. We see a future where no veteran feels alienated or left out. Our aim is to break down these barriers and fill the gap, not just with words but with concrete actions and tangible spaces.
We want to create community-like centers where veterans can engage in activity-based functions. The focus here is not on pulling up to a bar and drinking, but instead on fostering a space for meaningful interaction and shared experiences. A space where camaraderie is built over a game of pool, a group workout, a shared meal, or a communal coffee brewing session.
We aim to foster a sense of belonging, to create environments where veterans can feel at home and appreciated. This vision goes beyond politics and division and focuses on the essence of unity and inclusion. At its core, Aerial Resupply Coffee is committed to creating a world where every veteran feels seen, heard, and valued. We're more than a coffee company; we're a community, a support network, and a beacon of change.
The Founder's Story: Mike Klemmer - From Military Logistics to Coffee Roasting
At the heart of Aerial Resupply Coffee Company is its founder, Mike Klemmer, a veteran with a 20-year tenure as a logistics officer in the Army. Throughout his career, Mike mastered the intricacies of logistics, ensuring his fellow service members had what they needed, precisely when they needed it. This philosophy of unwavering support is deeply ingrained in the ethos of Aerial Resupply Coffee today.
Mike's military service wasn't just about fulfilling his duties; it fostered a profound sense of commitment to his comrades. This dedication didn't end when Mike retired from active duty. Instead, it found a new avenue in the establishment of Aerial Resupply Coffee Company.
Bolstered by his sense of community and commitment, Mike set out to create more than a coffee roastery. He aimed to establish a supportive network for the nation's heroes, providing quality coffee alongside a sense of belonging and camaraderie. Selling coffee was never the sole objective; fostering a supportive network for those who have selflessly served their country was always at the forefront.
