Share your most powerful story of valor in action and lives of service...

We launched Portraits of Valor as a way of continuing our mission of Remembering, Employing, and Empowering our heroes. We are grateful for the sacrifice of service members and their families from all aspects of service; military veterans, law enforcement, first responders, public servants, federal agents. Portraits of Valor features heroes from all walks of life and strives to highlight specific snapshots of courage, sacrifice, and heroism of these extraordinary individuals. Please help us share these stories  as we work to memorialize, honor or remember the American ethos of sacrificing for others...fellow Americans, future generations, and the liberty of the world.

Remember:

• Your submission should be 500-1000 words
• In addition to background information, please provide a brief snapshot of a specific moment that captures the greatest moment of service
• We appreciate every submission although we can't publish them all
• If selected, please have photos available to accompany the piece
