Segs4Vets received the 2010 Spirit Of Hope Award

Every year, the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard and the Office of the Secretary of Defense each nominate one individual or organization whose patriotism and service to members of the United States Armed Forces reflects the patriotism and service of Bob Hope. The recipients selflessly contributed an extraordinary amount of time, talent or resources to significantly enhance the quality of life of service members and their families serving around the world, and epitomize the values of Bob Hope:

Duty, Honor, Courage, Loyalty, Commitment, Integrity and Selfless Dedication.

It is my distinct privilege to advise you that Segs4Vets has been selected by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to receive their 2010 Spirit of Hope Award which will presented in ceremonies at the Pentagon on November 15, 2011.

The Spirit of Hope Award"

The spirit of selfless dedication he saw in the men and women of the United States Armed Forces inspired Bob Hope to commit himself for more than 50 years to entertaining them around the globe. The Spirit of Hope award is an emblem of character, integrity and statesmanship-the legacy of service to our great nation so evident in our troops and in those who support them. We imagined the awardas a thank you to Bob Hope.. He saw it as a message to generations of citizens he would not be able to thank in person: men and women who have served America in uniform or as volunteers."

-Michael Fagan, originator and co-creator of The Spirit of Hope Award

The Spirit of Hope Award is presented for outstanding service to the United States of America. It is awarded to men and women of the United States Armed Forces, entertainers and other distinguished Americans and organizations whose patriotism and service reflect that of Mr. Bob Hope. Mr. Hope was designated as the first honorary veteran of the United States Armed Forces for his decades of entertaining the troops, both in peacetime and in combat zones. This honor was bestowed by the United States Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton.
