The Eagle’s Nest was an incredible place to visit. History should not be erased. These places are there to remind us of what happened, so we don’t repeat the past.

We were lucky enough to take veterans back there several times since BDF started. This was from 2019 when we brought 101st Airborne veterans, Tom Rice (RIP) and George Mullins back.

For our Next-Gen students who travel with us, it's not just a 1-week commitment. These students have dedicated themselves to carrying on the legacy of these heroes. Alicia was part of our first Next-Gen group we ever had, years ago. And she's still at it. Also, we love seeing George Mullins as much as possible.

Our BEST DEFENSE FOUNDATION team reunited with the 8 veterans who joined us on our inaugural Battlefield Return program this year, at S.O.A.R. In Las Vegas. We can’t wait for our next Vietnam program!

The Eagle’s Nest

Last week, 102-year-old Hilbert “Hibby” Margol and 103-year-old Jack Myers went to the top of the Eagle’s Nest.

For Hibby, it was a return. He first made it up this mountain as a young soldier, not long after the war ended.

The Kehlsteinhaus was built in 1939 as Hitler’s 50th birthday gift. Allied troops took it in May 1945. Eighty-one years later, two of the men who helped win that war took in the view.

Part of our Battlefield Return: Germany program.

This was heavy.

This year, we returned to Vietnam with eight MACV-SOG veterans. Men who carried out some of the most secretive missions of the war, standing once again on the ground where so much of their story was written.

They found peace, they found healing, and brotherhood that never faded.

We’re honored to stand beside these warriors again at the S.O.A.R. event in Las Vegas.

And this is only the beginning for BDF and 🇻🇳

Our BDF team is at the annual Michelin USA Golf Tournament today!

Thank you Michelin for your continuous support of our Battlefield Return to Normandy. It is because of partners like you that we can bring closure, camaraderie and honor to those who served in WW2.

Same place. 81 years apart.

1945: Hilbert Margol stands with his twin brother, Howard, at the Maria Sorg Mission House in Bergheim, Germany.

2026: Hilbert, now 102, returns to that same spot alongside 103-year-old WWII veteran Jack Myers.
Howard passed several years ago. This time, Hilbert brought his memory with him.

The BEST DEFENSE FOUNDATION brought these two heroes back to Germany to walk where they served one last time.

Courtroom 600.

Between November 1945 and October 1946, the leaders of the N**i regime were made to answer for their crimes in this room.

Today, two men who fought to bring that day about sat in it.

veteran Hilbert Margol, 102. Jack Myers, 103.

They came back to see where justice was done.
