SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Kate Monroe, CEO of VetComm and a proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran, honored her former Master Sergeant, Dallas Rogers (Ret.), with the "Marine Corps Valor and Service Award" at this year’s Annual Service & Sacrifice Military Gala, held at Sycuan Resort in San Diego, California.

The event, sponsored in part by VetComm, brought together San Diego County officials, distinguished veterans and notable organizations united in their mission to support America’s heroes. Monroe, who attended the gala in 2024, returned this year not only as an honored guest but also as a sponsor. She took the stage to present the "Marine Corps Valor and Service Award" to her mentor and personal hero, Rogers, honoring him as the foundation of her strength—the guiding force whose influence continues to shape her leadership and echo through every veteran she now serves.

“This man right here pattern-interrupted my entire life,” said Monroe during her tribute. “He is the hero’s shoulders that I stand on now to be able to arrive violently on behalf of other people—because he was willing to provide cover protection for me so that I could provide protection for you. I will never forget you—and I love you so much.”

During her remarks, Monroe reflected on her time as a young Marine and shared how Rogers’ leadership helped guide her through challenges that shaped her into the leader she is today. She continues to honor that legacy through her work advocating for veterans’ rights and raising awareness about the struggles facing the veteran community.

Monroe and her organization, VetComm, were recognized with the "Saluting Your Dedication to Those Who Serve You Award," honoring their ongoing efforts to empower and uplift veterans across the country.
