The Veterans Valor project is a collaborative initiative led by the Morristown Rotary in partnership with the County of Morris and various New Jersey nonprofits. Our mission is to raise public awareness, support, and engagement for veterans and their families. Through our innovative programs, we aim to honor those who served and help facilitate their healing journey.
Our Mission
At Veterans Valor, we are dedicated to creating an environment where veterans can reflect, heal, and connect with their community. Our key initiatives include:
Creating a Healing and Arts Garden
This beautifully designed space serves as a sanctuary for reflection, conversation, and healing. Our Healing and Arts Garden will be a tranquil environment where veterans and the community can come together to honor the sacrifices made by those who served our nation. It fosters a deeper understanding of the veteran experience while promoting emotional and physical wellness.
Convening Veterans’ Groups and Service Providers
We believe in the power of collaboration. By bringing together a diverse array of organizations in health, art, and support services, we educate both veterans and the public. This initiative promotes a culture of empathy and connection, addressing the unique challenges faced by veterans and their families.
Benefits of the Veterans Valor Project

Mental Health Support
Our programs are designed to reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression, providing veterans with the resources they need to thrive.
