“Each nomination is a powerful reminder of the heroes who walk among us—whether they’ve served on the front lines, supported their communities, or stood as pillars of strength for their families,” said Vortex® CEO Joe Hamilton. “Selecting just one winner from these incredible submissions was no easy task, but we’re honored to have read every story.”

As a sponsor of the Armed Forces Bowl, Vortex® is proud to support those who have served their country, while also serving those still on active duty. Having been selected to deliver the Next Generation Squad Weapon-Fire Control to the US Army, Vortex® is working tirelessly for our nation's heroes. Vortex® is also proud to employ the talented men and women of our armed forces, and to support organizations that improve veteran lives.
