from Going Big! with Kevin Gentry · host Kevin Gentry

She shares the deeply personal story behind her journey, the values Brendan lived by, and how the Foundation is equipping veterans, families of the fallen, and young people to lead with character in communities across America.   Learn more about The Honor Project
