The ‘Net Worth’ of Legacy & Mickey Markoff’s Vision
This article was previously published by Mickey Markoff on his website. In a world where the measure of success is often quantified by financial metrics, the true essence of 'net worth' can sometimes be overshadowed by the glare of dollar signs. We see this often with the commercialization of holidays. Memorial Day is no exception. Despite its true meaning being that of gratitude and somber reflection upon the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes, the takeaway of the day for many is the store sales. However, one man with a vision set out to change that in the 1990s, and never looked back. Decades later, Mickey Markoff, Executive Producer of the Hyundai Air and Sea Show, now has a diverse team behind him to help carry out that vision. Each year on Memorial Day Weekend, the Hyundai Air and Sea Show unfolds on Miami Beach, redefining the conventional metrics of value and success. The Air and Sea Show, conceived and nurtured by visionary Mickey Markoff, serves as a testament to a different kind of 'net worth'—one measured not in currency, but in honor, gratitude, and national pride for those who dedicate their lives to serving our country.

Thank You, and God Bless America
It was a hot, humid night in late July, and a monsoon was rolling in. There were less than ten of us, sweating around a fire, silent in a way I had never experienced with these people before. There were veterans, active military, kids who were poised to join. And a precious few were like me, patriots who were allowed, for a few moments, to look deeper into the lives of those who dedicated themselves to their country.

Hadji Goes to Vegas Pt2
After a wonderful tour of duty in Okinawa for eighteen months including not one, but two extended temporary duty tours to the Philippines, and enjoying fifteen months living off-base with a lovely Japanese girl named Kiyoko, I was headed back to the mainland. For the first time in three tries, I was going to one of the bases I had requested. Nellis Air Force base is located north of Las Vegas in the Nevada desert. I was aware of the town’s history and how the Mob control of many Vegas properties came through their association with the Teamsters Union. Youngstown, Ohio was home to 3 different steel mills, all unionized. Youngstown and the surrounding communities were full of connected guys and a lot of the guys in Northeast Ohio were moving to the desert to escape the heat of the feds back home. I had three years left on a six-year reenlistment and I intended to continue until I reached twenty years, and then become a civilian tech rep. The position includes all the benefits of military service combined with a much higher pay scale and housing in the quarters reserved for officers. So, as I left the plane and headed to grab my luggage, my thoughts were on something a couple of guys who had just come to Okinawa from Nellis told me a couple of days before I left. “Whatever you do, do not get mixed up with Cheryl. “I asked for more info, but they just laughed and waved goodbye. I had not publicized my engagement to Kiyoko as it was a late decision, and our plans were still a work in progress. I had given her a ring and ordered tickets for her to join me in a month.
