Our Inspiring Story
 
In 1971, word of a new type of insignia spread through the ranks as distinguished officers from West Point traditionally strived to look their best.
 
A local uniform supplier, Henry Friedlander, created just the product they needed.
 
Uniquely manufactured insignia that has a diamond-like shine and never needs polishing grew to be the envy of all those who didn't have it.
 
Henry's insignia, STA-BRITE®, became universally recognized as the finest insignia money can buy, outselling other brands by a wide margin.

Sta-Brite Insignia Inc

AlphaMD is a TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) focused company. We pride ourselves on affordability, ease of access, personal treatment plans, and helping patients reach their goals.
 
We work with both Men & Women for TRT while also offering medicated weight loss programs using Semaglutide & Tirzepatide.
 
In our years as a TRT provider, it has become clear that TRT and Low Testosterone symptoms is not something that military medicine or the VA are willing to treat often. To help with this, we offer a 20% discount to all active military & Veterans who join our TRT program.

At Colorado Christian University, we focus on military students and dependents and their success, which allows for a balance between a military career or post-military life and their educational goals. CCU’s accelerated undergraduate degree and master’s degree programs prepare our students for lifelong learning and leadership roles in the military, business, and public professions. Our flexible education programs cater to the needs of adult students who have full-time employment, work shifts, and are prone to short notice moves or deployments. Plus, our regional accreditation through the Higher Learning Commission offers credits that are widely transferable to most colleges. If you are looking for a military-focused school, our enrollment counselors can help you learn more about how to use your military benefits and financial aid at CCU as well as answer any other questions that you might have. Financial aid counselors and military benefits advisors are also available to assist students on the financial aid, tuition assistance, and other various military and VA benefit requirements. Online. On site. On base. In order to make education more accessible for students in the military, 99% of CCU’s academic programs are offered online. Several of our programs are also offered at our College of Adult and Graduate Studies locations in Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, and Lakewood, Colorado.

CCU’s staff also works cooperatively with base education services personnel at the following locations in Colorado:

Buckley Space Force Base
Fort Carson
Peterson Space Force Base (including the 302nd Air Wing)
