“There is no better time than Memorial Day to pay tribute to those that paid the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our freedom” - Mickey Markoff on air and sea shows and Memorial Day
What do you think of when you hear the phrase ‘Memorial Day’? Chances are good that images of holiday sales, new mattresses, and cookouts may come to mind. Mickey Markoff, executive producer of the air and sea shows across South Florida, wants to change that.
Most companies in the United States don’t miss out on any opportunity to capitalize on a holiday. From President’s Day to Veteran’s Day, blowout sales and store-wide discounts are sure to abound. There is, of course, nothing wrong with this approach, but remembering the true spirit of a day is important, too. …
A poem on the landmarks of battle by Mickey Markoff
Scattered bones on the battlefield,
Strewn across the land,
Maps of fallen soldiers,
Found like the back of the hand.
Piecing together the parts of a puzzle,

I recently wrote a piece of the reclassification of PTSD, and these are further thoughts on the subject. Mostly meant to address how important is to be honest with yourself, and speak up if you feel you are not being heard.
Often the reasoning behind changing diagnostic criteria for mental disorders is complex, and sometimes nuanced. To someone unfamiliar with the diagnostic process or the finer details of a disorder, the changes can seem meaningless, pointless, or semantic. Indeed, for some who do understand the finer details, the same can still be true. Any alterations in the DSM are often…
“We risk leaving out a vulnerable population, reducing access to vital resources”. — Mickey Markoff
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or ‘PTSD’ means many things to many people. Put simply, it is considered a disorder which occurs in persons who have witnessed or experienced a traumatic event. It often occurs in survivors of war, natural disasters, serious accidents, and other traumatic events. Symptoms range from person to person, but can include anxiety, nightmares, re-experiencing of trauma, and other symptoms. It is unfortunately a common occurrence amongst veterans of war, although statistics vary across different periods of wartime.
PTSD was first recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the official US authority for psychiatric…

In the few months I’ve been using Medium, I have consistently been moved by the diversity of writers and the types of content on the platform. There truly is something for everyone. Whether you are a veteran of war or a human rights lawyer, you can find an outlet and an audience here.
One of the many things intriguing about the platform is its openness to user contribution. Every user has the opportunity to either reach out to an existing publication, or to start their own. I have chosen to do both, given my interests in a variety of topics.
a haiku on time, by Mickey Markoff
Time bombs underneath the soil,
Tic toc of the clock,
Seconds stretch like hours once found.

Los espectáculos aéreos y marítimos llevan a los ciudadanos a merodear por los cielos del sur de Florida tras el lanzamiento de Mickey Markoff del primer espectáculo del sur de Florida en 1995.
Los espectáculos aéreos y marítimos tienen una rica historia en los Estados Unidos que han ayudado a exhibir el desempeño de las naves y la aviación a lo largo de las décadas. En 1959, Chicago se convirtió en el hogar de uno de los primeros espectáculos de este tipo en el país con el lanzamiento del “Lakeshore Park Air & Water Show”. …
Like anything worth fighting for, it isn’t always easy.
If I asked you to think of a list of people whose forgiveness you wish you had, who would you think of? Over the course of a lifetime, your list may be a long one. Maybe you missed your son’s baseball games, or took one too many phone calls at dinner with the family. Perhaps you missed being present for a loved one’s final days.
When we think about ‘forgiveness’, it is only natural to look to the external. Other people. …
A haiku — what camo hides and what it doesn’t
Deep in the trenches,
Camouflage masks the outer,
But hides not the heart.
