Today, we remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

Their sacrifice is not forgotten.

At We Defy Foundation, Memorial Day carries deep meaning. It reminds us why we serve the veteran community with purpose, gratitude, and commitment every single day.

As communities across the country gather for Ruck and Roll events this weekend, we do so in honor of those who never made it home and in support of the veterans still carrying the weight of service.

We remember them.

This Memorial Day, show up for those who served. 🇺🇸

Ruck and Roll events are happening across the country in support of combat veterans through We Defy Foundation.

Whether you train, ruck, walk, donate, or simply come support the community, your presence matters.

Help us get more veterans on the mats.
Ruck and Roll for those that can’t.

Huge shout out to the team for an incredible showing at their PG3 Fight Night event - all the way in Okinawa!

Their April event raised over $7300 for We Defy Foundation - over time, their events have funded 12 veteran athlete scholarships. What an incredible impact - thank you!

Every event matters. Every dollar raised. Every veteran scholarship funded. It all starts when an idea turns into an action.

Who will take action next?
