Mike Krzyzewski
Featured for this Week

From captain of West Point’s basketball team to a captain in the Army and on to coach Duke’s extraordinary Blue Devils for over three decades, Mike Krzyzewski’s lifetime of leadership is admirable. Coach K, as he is known, recently announced his retirement after 47 years of coaching. He will complete the upcoming 2021-2022 season of college basketball and retire at age 75 to spend time with family.

Krzyzewski was born in Chicago to Polish parents: Emily and William Krzyzewski. They were supportive parents who knew the value of education and the importance of values; they sent him to Catholic school before he was accepted to West Point.

We hope you enjoy this week’s HeroVet profile of Mike Krzyzewski, the long-time head coach of the Duke Men’s basketball team. When we first named him a HeroVet in 2015, we recognized his nearly 40-year run winning championships, being a mentor to hundreds of star athletes, and serving as a role model for West Point cadets.

Now, as “Coach K” has announced his retirement, we reflect on his extraordinary record. Not many will ever reach his level of achievement as a head coach - over 1,100 wins at West Point & Duke, 5 NCAA championships, and three Olympic gold medals.

Cover Story: “Black Hawk Down” Comes Back into Perspective Over 30 Years Later

 In the storied annals of military history, there are tales that transcend time, serving as reminders of the indomitable spirit and unwavering courage of those who wear the uniform. One such narrative unfolded in the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia, where Retired U.S. Army Maj. Larry Moores etched his name into the annals of valor, culminating in a long-overdue recognition with the Silver Star Medal.

Military & Veterans Life

Cover Story: How & Why WeSalute Was Founded 25 Years Ago

 WeSalute founders Scott and Lin Higgins have spent a lifetime in the military community, from Scott’s combat service in Vietnam and the service of Lin’s father in WWII, to serving families and veterans through the creation of memorials and parades as part of charitable and government initiatives. It was this lifetime of service that led them to establish WeSalute, originally founded as Veterans Advantage, and to continue giving back.
