America’s Defense Communities magazine is an annual national glossy print publication that features stories from military communities across the country. Content highlights how national and local entities support the lives of service members, their families and veterans to show the impact communities and Department of Defense programs have on individual lives.
First Story Strategies’ Randy Ford helped launch the magazine in 2016 and served as editor in chief of the 2018 issue, partnering with Grace Marvin of the Association of Defense Communities and LRG Public Affairs, the Blue House Design Company and other contributors.
