The Meaning Behind "Esprit"

"Esprit" was chosen for its meaning—spirit, soul, and resilience—qualities veterans and young adults rely on through life’s transitions. It also ties to esprit de corps, symbolizing unity and shared purpose. Our mission is to build a strong, supportive community where veterans and young adults uplift each other as they navigate new chapters in life.
