Transition impacts individuals, spouses, families and friends. It takes an open-mind, deep conversations, understanding and courage. Similar to active duty, the journey after service is filled with unknowns, sometimes challenging timelines and tons of effort. It takes a village — a solid support system — to transition as it should never be done alone.

Today we celebrate the spouses who provide tremendous support to the service members of our country — past, present and future. These are men and women who do the heavy lifting behind the scenes and give endless amounts of encouragement, strength and care. It’s not an easy role — one full of ups and downs — and we cannot thank all military spouses enough for all that they do and the part they play in serving our country. THANK YOU.

The Honor Foundation has become a leading national force and expert in transition from military to civilian life. Today, we are announcing a transition of our own.

We are excited to welcome our new CEO, Kelly McGraw.

For the past six years, Kelly has helped shape THF’s growth as the Chief Impact Officer, overseeing organizational revenue and strategic partnerships. She brings not only proven leadership, but lived experience as a military spouse, understanding firsthand the weight and complexity of transition.

Kelly is dedicated to carrying forward what’s been built, to protecting what makes our programs exceptional, and to evolving the organization to meet what comes next.
Please join us as we enthusiastically welcome Kelly to her new role and continue to serve others with honor, for life.

We are incredibly grateful to the employees of @liveoakbank for hosting an outstanding event this past Saturday in Rocky Point, NC. The 3rd Annual Spring Clays Classic was a beautiful day of competition and community held in a stunning private oasis.

This employee-led initiative directly benefits the transition missions of The Honor Foundation and the @marineraiderfoundation. It is through the dedication of community partners like Live Oak Bank that we can continue providing elite veterans with the tools they need to succeed in their next mission.

To the organizers and participants: Thank you for your sharp shooting and even sharper commitment to our Special Operations community!

Thank you to all of our wonderful supporters in Nashville for helping make our 5th Annual Nashville Benefit Dinner a success!

Your commitment to supporting America’s veterans knows no limits. A special thank you to CW4 Michael J. Durant, USA (Ret.), for sharing his stories of extreme trust and crossing the “moat of transition.” Thank you to Lifepoint speakers and their heartfelt testimonial. Ben Mance (Employer) and Eugene Watson (THF Alumnus) your story was inspiring and truly highlighted our mission. Lastly, The Honor Foundation would like once again thank our SOF spouse, LTC LaRissa Erickson, USA for sharing your personal stories of resilience and sacrifice and how THF impacted you and your family.

A very special thank you to all of our amazing sponsors, donors, and guests. Your unwavering support and commitment to The Honor Foundation‘s mission will have a lasting impact on the lives and careers of the transitioning Special Operations veterans and families we serve.

We hope to see you again next year! Save the date for April 1, 2027 - we will be back at Geodis Park!
