Code Gratitude is a new website set up to help and thank our 'protectors.' It is the brain child of Shannon Moss, longtime TV news reporter in Maine. Shannon joined on the Moose Morning Show.

Listen to our interview with Shannon in the video above.

Code Gratitude will connect supportive businesses with the men and women in law enforcement, fire, EMS, military and related professions.

Protectors benefit from the savings while local businesses grow. As the website says, "It’s not charity, just good business sense."

In addition to providing discounts to protectors, Code Gratitude wants to inspire future protectors. They will use a portion of membership fees to fund scholarships for high school seniors who are joining the military, studying fire science or criminal justice.
