a Salute to Bravery
London I 28 May

For nearly 80 years, coalition forces across the NATO alliance and partner nations have stood shoulder to shoulder in service, sacrifice, and conflict. They fought together under a shared mission and an unbreakable bond.

Yet when the mission ends and warriors return home, they often do so separately, navigating the visible and invisible impacts of service through vastly different systems of support. We hosted this inaugural VCI Awards Dinner because we believe the bonds forged in service should not end when the uniform comes off.

On May 28 in London, we brought together leaders, veterans, and partners united by a shared commitment to those who have served. It was a great celebration of organizations helping warriors heal, rebuild, and continue contributing to the nations they defended. Thanks to all who made this special gathering possible.
