Profiles of Courage

Swords to Plowshares' Profiles of Courage Award is an annual honor given to veterans who have demonstrated extraordinary courage in the face of war and conflict. These veterans have not only faced the physical and psychological challenges of military service, but also the long-term effects of service and post-service life. By acknowledging their courage and resilience, Swords to Plowshares is able to provide veterans with a sense of recognition and appreciation for the sacrifices they have made for their country.

Please note that Swords' Profiles of Courage Award is not affiliated with the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award®. Our award is exclusively for individuals who have served in the US military and improved their lives through the wraparound services provided by Swords to Plowshares.
