Veterans Day
"Side by Side"
~motto of the Allied Forces Foundation
Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served—across the United States, the United Kingdom, and our allied nations.
This tribute tartan celebrates the Allied Forces Foundation (AFF), an organisation dedicated to uniting wounded, ill, and injured service members and veterans from the US, UK, and partner nations in shared recovery, resilience, and community.
The AFF primarily supports American and British veterans, caregivers, and families, bringing them together through meaningful events, fellowship, and restorative activities.
The tartan’s colours reflect the heart of the mission: red, white, and blue represent both the Union Flag of the United Kingdom and the United States National Flag, as seen in the AFF emblem; shades of green and brown honour the essential camouflage of military uniforms and equipment; and black stands in solemn remembrance of all fallen comrades. ❤️ 🤍 💙 💚 🤎 🖤 🪖 🪖 🪖 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
The Allied Forces Foundation (AFF) is a U.S.–U.K. based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting wounded, ill, or injured service members and veterans from the United States, United Kingdom, and allied nations. Its mission is to unite these individuals in wellness and healing through shared experiences, camaraderie, and physical challenge.
AFF believes that recovery is best achieved through community, purpose, and teamwork. The foundation organizes endurance and outdoor events such as the “Warrior Yomp,” which challenge both body and mind while rebuilding confidence and rekindling the spirit of belonging that many veterans miss after leaving military service. Their motto, “Side by Side,” reflects the idea that comrades who once served together can also recover together.
Headquartered in Leesburg, Virginia, AFF is registered in the United States as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. It operates through partnerships with sponsors, other veteran charities, and volunteers who help deliver its mission across both sides of the Atlantic. By combining physical rehabilitation with peer support and adventure, the Allied Forces Foundation provides a powerful path toward renewed health, purpose, and connection for veterans and their families.
