/in , /by

At their March 21, 2019, meeting, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors presented resolutions to recognize the accomplishments of individuals and groups in Loudoun County.

Proclamation to Proclaim March 15, 2019 as American Legion Centennial Day in Loudoun County:  This proclamation recognizes the 100th Anniversary of the American Legion, which was founded on March 15, 2019 at the American Club near Place de la Concorde in Paris, France, by members of the American Expeditionary Forces. On September 19, 1919, the United States Congress federally chartered American Legion as a patriotic veteran’s organization. Focusing on service to veterans, service members and communities, the Legion evolved from a group of war-weary veterans of World War I into one of the most influential non-profit groups in the United States. Today, membership stands at over 2 million in more than 13,000 posts worldwide.

/in , /by

The Boulder Crest Institute for Posttraumatic Growth won the non-profit of the year award at the 5th Annual HillVets 100 Tribute Gala, March 28, 2019, at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington D.C.

Opened in 2018, the Boulder Crest Institute has four areas of operation – training, technology, research and evaluation, and social and policy change. In addition to supporting Boulder Crest Retreat Arizona and Virginia, the Institute is tasked with scaling our breakthrough Warrior PATHH programs across the nation, and working to transform our nation’s approach to mental health. The Institute Team – Josh Goldberg, Greg Morin, Anna Kavanaugh, Dr. Richard Tedeschi, and Dr. Bret Moore – have accomplished a great deal in a short period of time, and we are proud of their great work.

The HillVets 100 Gala is an event for the veteran and military community that highlights the most influential and impactful veterans, service-members, and supporters from 2018. The HillVets 100 includes veterans of all eras, from the Vietnam War to the more recent Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. More than 500 attendees at the event had to vote and we won!

Thank you to our supporters. We couldn’t do what we do without you!

And to our Team at Boulder Crest, you are the best!
