Opinion: We must take care of our veterans and preserve the memory of Pearl Harbor heroes [Opinion]
“In 2021, we were able to bring 63 WWII veterans back to Pearl Harbor for the 80th anniversary commemoration,” Edwards said. “It was an incredible feat and we were so honored to be able to provide this return so that these veterans, who were all impacted by the attack on American soil, were celebrated and remembered.”
In 2023, the Best Defense Foundation will continue with its Battlefield Return Program, visiting Iwo Jima, Normandy, and, for the first time, bringing Vietnam War veterans back to Vietnam. The Best Defense Foundation has two other pillar programs that help in its mission. The Stronghold Transition Program is designed as a retreat for our special forces who have recently transitioned out of the military. This program partners veterans of special forces with NFL retirees who share common ground of finding purpose after a lifetime of a career focused on being a part of a team.
