Watch as she reflects on what she’s learned, what inspires her and why she’s excited for the road ahead.

VBG was proud to partner with the Jacksonville Jaguars to honor the military throughout Salute to Service weekend!

The celebration was full of action and excitement: VBG sponsored the Battle of the Branches flag football tournament, supported the USO Tailgate (with special guest PBR rider Cort McFadden) and welcomed attendees in the Fan Entertainment Zone with special-edition Jaguars posters.

Team VBG also stepped onto the field for a powerful patriotic tribute, joining service members as the national anthem played, the American flag swept across the stadium and a jet salute roared overhead.

It was a weekend celebrating service, community and connection — on and off the field — and VBG was honored to be part of it.
