About Military Appreciation Magazine
Military Appreciation Magazine exists to capture and share the real experiences of the JBMDL community—through stories that inform, recognize, and connect the people behind the mission.
Military Appreciation Magazine (M.A.M.) is the only printed publication dedicated to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and the surrounding South Jersey community.
Published three times a year, M.A.M. reaches a broad audience of active-duty service members, families, veterans, civilian employees, and local residents—connecting the people who live, work, and serve within one of the most impactful military communities in the country. Each issue is distributed across 425+ locations on and off base, with 10,000 printed copies per release and additional digital access online.
At its core, the magazine exists to document the real stories behind JBMDL—highlighting units, missions, and, most importantly, the people who make it all happen. From operational milestones to everyday moments, M.A.M. focuses on the human side of military life, bringing visibility to the individuals and families who shape the community.
Originally formed by combining the Military Appreciation Resource Magazine and GoMDL Magazine, M.A.M. builds on that legacy with a more unified, editorial-driven approach—moving beyond announcements to deliver stories that inform, recognize, and resonate.
Beyond storytelling, the magazine also serves as a bridge between the installation and the surrounding business community. Through local partnerships and advertising, it provides a platform for small businesses to connect with a highly engaged audience while supporting the military population they serve.
Today, M.A.M. continues to evolve—shifting toward more human-centered, editorial storytelling while maintaining its role as a trusted, widely distributed publication for JBMDL and beyond.
