Rewrite the Narrative

Powered by Victory Bridge Foundation

Bridging the Divide. Confronting the Narrative. Reclaiming the Story.

We’re calling on veterans, families, and first responder leaders to help rewrite the national narrative — one real story at a time.

Stories That Need to Be Heard

Whether you’ve served on the front lines or led those who have — your voice matters.

One story. One truth. One idea. That’s all it takes to shift the way a nation sees its heroes.

Your words can bridge divides, challenge stigma, and rewrite the narrative — not just for today, but for the next generation.

Choose a Story Pillar

Choose one of the five categories that best fits what you want to say:

1. What I Wish Civilians Knew

2. The Reality of Service

3. The Truth About Trauma

4. The Reintegration Gap

5. The Cost of Misrepresentation

Share Your Truth

You don’t need to be a writer — just be real. Here are a few tips:

Keep it around 300–700 words

Be honest, not polished — raw is welcome

You can stay anonymous or use your first name

Focus on one moment, one message, or one truth
