June 22, 2018

Chuck Scarborough

We hope you enjoy this week's TopVet profile of Air Force Veteran Chuck Scarborough. By day he is a renown newsman and trusted anchor, but there's so much more. For all of his nearly 50 years in the business he has been driven with a military-style passion and discipline for his craft. I first met Chuck in the 1980s when he interviewed me for my work with the New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Parade, and I could tell he truly cares for his fellow veterans. Here he is, pictured above, flying with the Navy's Blue Angels. Learn more about one of NBC's finest here.

We are also proud to announce that Alaska Airlines joins our VetRewards Exclusive partner coalition. In addition to being named the nation's #1 airline by Time's Money Magazine, this is a company that really believes in veterans. Enjoy the travel discounts and the perks with Alaska's Mileage Plan loyalty program each time you fly with Alaska.

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.
