Across every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, Special Operations Forces (SOF) represent the highest levels of courage, skill, discipline, and selflessness. Their missions are often quiet. Their sacrifices are often unseen. But their impact and the impact on the families behind them is profound and lasting.
The Special Operations community includes:
- U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets)
- 75th Ranger Regiment
- 160th SOAR (Night Stalkers)
- Navy SEALs & SWCC
- Marine Raiders (MARSOC)
- Air Force Special Warfare (PJs, CCT, TACP, SR)
- Coast Guard MSRT
- Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) units
These are the service members tasked with the nation’s most demanding missions. Behind every Special Operator stands a family; spouses, children, parents, siblings who serve in their own way through sacrifice, endurance, and unwavering support.
And when an operator makes the ultimate sacrifice, it is the Gold Star Families who carry their legacy forward.
One organization dedicated to honoring that legacy is the Memorial Valor Foundation.
The Mission of the Memorial Valor Foundation
Remember • Honor • Memorialize
The Memorial Valor Foundation (MVF) exists to honor fallen Special Operators and support the families they leave behind. Their mission is deeply rooted in values that define the SOF community:
- remembrance
- unity
- service
- family
- sacrifice
- gratitude
MVF supports:
- Gold Star spouses
- children of fallen Special Operators
- families still navigating loss
- community events that honor the fallen
- memorial and remembrance efforts
- outreach programs that keep legacies alive
Their fundraising efforts including more than $480,000 raised in 2025 enable them to continue standing beside these families in meaningful ways.
But what truly defines MVF is not the numbers; it’s the people.
The stories.
The community.
The spirit that surrounds every event, every honoree, every family.
Why This Mission Matters to Us
We believe there is no greater form of selflessness than that made by the families represented by the Memorial Valor Foundation. Supporting an organization rooted in values like selflessness, family, patriotism, remembrance, and service is something we care deeply about not as a business initiative, but as human beings.
We connected with MVF early in our journey as we sought to align with organizations that made genuine, tangible impacts in the military community. Their mission immediately resonated with us not because of any single moment or circumstance, but because of the character of the people involved and the purpose behind everything they do.
For the past five years, we’ve had the privilege of walking alongside the MVF community by:
- supporting events
- providing apparel
- showing up in person
- meeting families
- listening to stories
- witnessing the strength of the Special Operations community
Those experiences have been humbling and deeply meaningful. They’ve connected us to families whose resilience and courage represent the highest values America stands for.
We are honored truly honored to support an organization that remembers, honors, and memorializes those who gave everything.
