WeSalute has been supporting active-duty military, veterans, and first responders for over 25 years. Founded by Vietnam veteran Scott Higgins, the organization provides a wide range of benefits, including exclusive discounts, career support, and recognition programs. One of the most impactful features of WeSalute is its awards program, which honors the achievements and contributions of U.S. military veterans after their service. Through this recognition program, WeSalute is making a significant difference in the lives of military veterans as they transition into civilian life.
Military veterans face unique challenges when transitioning from active duty to civilian life. Many struggle with finding a sense of purpose after service, while others face difficulties reintegrating into society. According to a 2018 study by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, nearly 30% of military veterans report feeling disconnected after returning to civilian life. Recognition plays a crucial role in easing this transition. Scott Higgins, the co-founder of WeSalute, understands these challenges firsthand. He believes that military veterans should be celebrated not just for their military service but also for their achievements after service. "When I came home from Vietnam, it wasn't easy to find support," says Scott. "That's why we created the WeSalute Awards to recognize those who continue to make a difference after their military careers."
