“Motorcyclists’ safety is a major concern not just for AXO, but also for the military. We are always concerned about our soldiers being at the front in hot areas around the world, but we tend to forget that a motorcyclist without the right equipment is in greater danger at home. That is why, giving preferential pricing to the people that defend our freedom is the minimum we could do to protect our heroes and say thank you” Nicola Serragiotto, VP at AXO
“We can’t thank our military guests enough for their continued service in protecting our country and way of life. We are honored to offer a military discount on our merchandise, as this is just one way we can express our sincere gratitude for all they do.” Lori Cody, Director of Marketing at The Buckle, Inc.
