A Message From the Founders
Valor and Faith began at a kitchen table. Two brothers, sons of a Vietnam veteran, deciding the men and women who stood for us deserved more than our gratitude. They deserved our action.
Our grandfather served in World War II. Our father served in Vietnam. Two great-uncles gave everything in combat. Today, family members continue to serve in uniform. This work carries their names forward and stands beside those still in the fight.
To every service member, veteran, and first responder, and to the families who stand beside them: We See You. We Stand With You. You Are Not Alone.
