ROOTED IN MILITARY HISTORY, THE DUKE CANNON BRAND CONTINUES TO GAIN INSPIRATION FROM ACTIVE DUTY SOLDIERS.
The rectangular “brick” shape and large size of Duke Cannon’s Big Ass Soap was inspired by the product issued to G.I.’s during the Korean War. (Our modern version retains similar dimensions, but smells a little better than its predecessor.) In fact, is produced today in the same U.S. based, family-owned plant that was the primary supplier to the military during that era.
​
Today we continue to gain inspiration from the fine soldiers serving our country by partnering with active duty military stationed at Camp Ripley in our home state in Minnesota as well as those currently deployed abroad in some of the world’s harshest environments.
​
While big corporations pay MBA’s to conduct months of focus groups, we simply work with our liaisons in the Armed Forces to inspire new ideas and review any all new products before they launch. Simply put, if it doesn’t meet the high standards of the men in uniform, it doesn’t happen.
COMMITMENT TO GIVING BACK
​
DUKE CANNON SUPPLY COMPANY IS SERIOUS ABOUT ITS COMMITMENT TO GIVING BACK TO THE MEN AND WOMEN SERVING OUR COUNTRY. THAT’S WHY A PORTION OF OUR PROCEEDS DIRECTLY SUPPORTS VETERAN CAUSES.
K9S FOR WARRIORS
​
K9s For Warriors is dedicated to providing service canines to warriors suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disability, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma as a result of military service post 9/11. Their goal is to empower them to return to civilian life with dignity and independence.
MILITARY WORKING DOG TEAM SUPPORT ASSOCIATION
​
Military Working Dog Team Support Association (MWDTSA) supports dog teams currently deployed in harm’s way, promotes veteran dog handler causes and events, advocates for retired military working dogs (MWD), educates the public and raises funds for War Dog Memorials. Canines have been a part of the U.S. military since the early days of WWI and therefore have a significant presence in our military history. As a company, Duke Cannon is proud to support MWDTSA whenever an opportunity arises.
HONOR FLIGHT NETWORK
​
We actively contribute to Honor Flight Network to give our American veterans a very well deserved trip and tribute that sadly they cannot afford on their own. Honor Flight Network transports the heroes of the armed forces to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at its memorials. It is an emotional day for many and one of the best of their lives for most.
FOLDS OF HONOR
​
Folds of Honor is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization, rated a four-star charity by Charity Navigator and platinum on Guide Star, that provides educational scholarships to the families of military men and women who have fallen or been disabled while on active duty in the United States armed forces.
As a locally owned retail establishment, I am proud of our Armed Services personnel and all the sacrifices
they have made on our behalf.
We are proud to offer products that give back to them.
