We have a theme this week of giving back to veterans and our community!❤️While some of our team members attended the Wounded Warrior 5K on October 25th, our team back in Virginia laced up their boots 🥾 and took on the Wicked Warrior Ruck — a powerful event that combined physical challenge 💪 with purpose. With weighted rucksacks 🎒 on their backs, they hiked through the beautiful trails of the Appalachian Trail 🌲 and the inspiring grounds of Boulder Crest in Bluemont, VA.

Boulder Crest Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of veterans, first responders, and their families through Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) programs 🌟. Their mission is to ensure our nation’s heroes can live great lives after service — and we’re proud to support that mission 🙌.
Swipe through the photos 📸 to see our team in action, and if you’re inspired, we encourage you to learn more, get involved, or donate at bouldercrest.org 💙.

Proud to Support Our Warriors! On October 25th, Cornerstone Defense was honored to sponsor the Wounded Warrior Project Carry Forward 5K, a powerful event that puts the mission of honoring and empowering wounded warriors into motion.
 
One of our incredible team members from North Carolina participated for the third year in a row — continuing a meaningful tradition — and we were thrilled to have another teammate travel all the way from Colorado to run the 5K too! 💪🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️
 
We’re proud to stand behind this cause and support those who’ve served. #WWPCarryForward #CornerstoneDefense #VeteranSupport #TeamCornerstone #MissionInMotion #WoundedWarriorProject
