The human cost of the post-9/11 wars on America is staggering. More than seven thousand U.S. service members have been killed due to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and more than 30,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines have died by suicide during that time. For the families left behind, the burden of those losses can be unbearable. When Army Staff Sergeant Lesliee Ojeda's husband was killed in Iraq, she struggled to stay strong for their 14-month-old son Angel. But thanks to some folks who had survived similar losses, they discovered a community and a path forward. Since its founding in 1994, TAPS has provided comfort, care, and hope 24/7 through a national peer support network and connection to grief resources, all at no cost to surviving families and loved ones.

NFL Salute To Service Award for 2021

This year Move United launched its first ever Wheelchair Football League, thanks in part to a large grant from the NFL and the Bob Woodruff Foundation. For adaptive athletes, football is more than a game. One athlete participating in the inaugural league is former U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Bart Salgado, who helped build the Wheelchair Football League. It's been a dream for the Persian Gulf veteran since the early 2000s, one that grew from heartbreak and perseverance. Salgado's L.A-based team recently played in the Kansas City tournament at Arrowhead Stadium. They defeated the Kansas City squad 32-18 in the championship game.
