Scott’s View: The Spirit of Veterans Day Was Alive in 2024 With Heroes Meet Heroes

Scott Higgins

For the past thirteen years, Veterans Advantage (now WeSalute) has proudly hosted events to honor U.S. active-duty military, veterans, and their families in recognition of Veterans Day. This year is no different.


Our "Heroes Meet Heroes" initiative has been a cornerstone of these celebrations, creating truly memorable experiences. Just last week, we united military veterans and Olympic athletes in a major streaming event, which has now flourished for a fifth time. Enjoy our cover story recapping the event here.

Thanksgiving Wishes

To all the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our nation, we extend our deepest gratitude this Thanksgiving. Your selfless dedication and unwavering commitment to defending our freedoms are an inspiration to us all. Whether you're currently deployed, a veteran who has answered the call in the past, or a family member who has supported a loved one through their service, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

This Thanksgiving, as you gather with loved ones, may your hearts be filled with warmth, gratitude, and the pride of knowing you have made a profound difference in the world. We wish you a happy and restful holiday season. Thank you for everything you do.

Cover Story: With the Death of John Kinsel Sr., Only Two Navajo Code Talkers of World War II Are Still Alive

John Kinsel Sr., one of last remaining Navajo Code Talkers from World War II, passed away peacefully on October 19, 2024 at the age of 107. His life embodied the importance of the Navajo Code Talkers in U.S. military history. They transmitted messages during World War II based on the tribe's native Diné bizaad language in a code that Japanese cryptologists were unable to break.

On November 7, WeSalute held its fifth streaming of the “Heroes Meet Heroes” event, where military heroes meet Olympic heroes. Moderated by WeSalute co-founder and Chairman Scott Higgins, the annual conversation was started 12 years ago by WeSalute CEO Lin Higgins. It celebrates both the military and sports successes and similarities across two panel discussions. This year’s session was dedicated to Captain Paul “Bud” Bucha, a Medal of Honor recipient and longtime member of the WeSalute Advisory Board who passed away this year at the age of 80.
