MilitaryOneClick Teams Up With Billy Hurley III, PGA Golfer And Navy Veteran
Joins The Secor Group in Supporting the Local Naval Academy Graduate on PGA Tour
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- MilitaryOneClick, the premier online resource for active duty military, reservists, veterans and their families, announced today it, in partnership with The Secor Group, will sponsor Billy Hurley III, a PGA Tour professional and U.S. Navy veteran in 2015. Hurley, a native of Leesburg, Va. is the first graduate of the United States Naval Academy to become a member of the PGA Tour.
"As a veteran, I am extremely connected to our military community, actively working with organizations that support their needs and those of their families," said Hurley. "Not only do I welcome the support of MilitaryOneClick, I commend their efforts on helping to improve the lives of military families. They are an invaluable resource to those serving our nation, our veterans and their loved ones."
Hurley graduated from the Naval Academy in 2004 and served as an officer through 2009, while stationed in Mayport, Fla., Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and Annapolis, Md. During his naval career, he served on multiple ships, including the USS Chung-Hoon, a 10,000-ton guided missile destroyer, while being deployed overseas to the Persian Gulf, Red Sea and South China Sea. After his 5-year military service commitment concluded, he turned to competitive golf full-time in 2009. He is currently ranked 66 on the PGA Tour FedEx standings and will play at the 2015 Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Kapalua, Hawaii on Jan. 9-12.
MilitaryOneClick, founded by U.S. Navy spouse, Jennifer Pilcher, and wife of 1996 graduate of the United States Naval Academy, CDR Eddie Pilcher, connected with Hurley through the Secor Group, a current sponsor of the PGA Tour player. Secor Group is one of the largest providers of moving and relocation services to military families as well as logistics solutions for the Department of Defense.
"MilitaryOneClick is quickly becoming the premier virtual connection for real-time, relevant information to our service members, their families and our veteran community," said Corby Lawrence, SVP, Secor Group, and U.S. Air Force veteran. "Connecting MilitaryOneClick with Billy was a natural fit."
Through MilitaryOneClick.com, Pilcher and her team will connect more than 1.6 million site visitors a month with Hurley and his 2015 PGA Tour journey. "It's an exciting opportunity and represents another way in which we can bring the military community together. Billy is an amazing example of a veteran who put his personal dreams on hold to serve his country first," said Pilcher.
