We are incredibly grateful to Deputy Secretary of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Paul R. Lawrence, Ph.D for taking the time recently to learn more about SoldierStrong’s mission and impact.

What began with sending essential supplies to deployed service members has evolved into a commitment to helping veterans take their next steps forward through revolutionary rehabilitation technology, PTSD treatment tools, and educational opportunities.

We are honored to support the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country, and we remain committed to advancing innovative solutions that improve veterans’ lives every day.

Thank you to all of our partners, supporters, and advocates who make this work possible. And a special thank you to Deputy Secretary Lawrence for your service and dedication to our nation's heroes! 🇺🇸

At SoldierStrong, we honor those who step forward in moments that define history.

In a recent episode of SoldierStrong Chairman Dr. Chris Meek's podcast Next Steps Forward, retired Lt. Gen. Marc Sasseville shares his firsthand account of September 11, 2001, and the extraordinary responsibility he carried as a fighter pilot with the D.C. Air National Guard that morning.

Faced with unprecedented uncertainty, no clear rules of engagement, and an unarmed aircraft, Sasseville and fellow pilot Heather Penney prepared to do whatever was necessary to protect the nation’s capital. His reflections on duty, leadership, sacrifice, and resilience offer a powerful reminder of the courage displayed by so many on 9/11, especially the heroes aboard Flight 93.

This conversation is more than a recounting of history. It is a testament to service, commitment, and the willingness to put others before self.

May is Military Spouse Appreciation Month, and SoldierStrong proudly recognizes the strength, resilience, and sacrifice of military spouses.

Behind every service member is a family serving too, adapting to deployments, relocations, and uncertainty with unwavering strength and support.

Military spouses are the backbone of our Armed Forces community, and their contributions often go unseen but never unfelt.

This month, we honor you and thank you for all you do. 🇺🇸

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on the invisible wounds many of our nation's heroes carry long after the battle ends. 🧠

At SoldierStrong, we stand with our veterans and service members in their journey toward healing. Mental health is just as vital as physical health and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

This month and every month, we remain committed to providing advanced therapies and support systems that help our warriors reclaim their well-being, including the BraveMind virtual reality system used to treat post-9/11 veterans living with the devastating impacts of post-traumatic stress.

Since 2019, SoldierStrong has proudly donated 32 BraveMind systems to Veterans Affairs medical facilities across the nation in an effort to open up access to revolutionary mental health care for our nation’s heroes.
