The 7th Annual We Defy Gala brought this community together in a way we will never forget. The energy in the room, the stories shared, and the generosity shown made this one of the most powerful evenings we have ever had.

Every dollar raised goes directly toward putting more veterans on the mat. Because of this community, that mission keeps growing.

Thank you to everyone who was there!

This is why we do what we do. Stories like Jovan's remind us that the mat is more than a place to train. It is a place to find discipline, purpose, confidence, and family.

If you know a veteran who needs this, share it with them today.

Today we honor the men and women who have served on the seas in defense of this nation. The sacrifices made, the time away from family, and the dedication carried long after the uniform comes off do not go unnoticed.

To every Sailor, past and present, thank you. We see you. We honor you.

"Completely lost. You feel isolated."

That is how Dairoby described life after service. Getting out does not come with a roadmap and for too many veterans, the silence hits harder than anything they faced in uniform.

This is his story. And it is one worth watching.

The full documentary is live now on YouTube. https://youtu.be/fCanr1IYByw
