This special celebration brings together Marines, veterans, active-duty service members, military families, first responders, supporters, community members, and local businesses to honor 251 years of Marine Corps tradition and recognize the men and women who have served our nation.

More than a celebration, this event is an opportunity to strengthen connections within our military community through service, camaraderie, education, relationships, and shared experiences.

🤝 Our Partnership

🇺🇸 Save the Brave

Save the Brave is committed to connecting combat veterans through outreach programs that build strength of character and create opportunities for veterans to reconnect with their military community.

Through programs such as our Offshore Fishing Program, veterans have opportunities to get on the water, build friendships, share experiences, and strengthen the bonds of camaraderie that remain important long after military service.

Events like this help bring veterans, service members, families, supporters, and the community together while raising awareness and resources for programs that serve those who have served our country.

🇺🇸 Armed Forces Division (AFD)

Armed Forces Division is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the military community by connecting active-duty service members, reservists, veterans, retirees, military spouses, and dependents with education, resources, opportunities, and relationships that empower them to thrive in every stage of life.

AFD creates meaningful connections through community engagement, leadership development, financial education, career pathways, wellness initiatives, mentorship, networking, and strategic partnerships.

Together

Although Save the Brave and Armed Forces Division are independent nonprofit organizations with their own missions and governance, we share a commitment to supporting those who serve, those who have served, and the families and communities connected to them.

Through this partnership, we are bringing our communities together to honor military service, create meaningful connections, and strengthen the military community beyond the uniform.
