Rewrite the story.

Rebuild the trust.

Reclaim the truth.

Rewrite the Narrative is a national movement powered by Victory Bridge Foundation to end the misrepresentation of veterans and dismantle the stigma around trauma and PTSD.

We’re bridging the divide between the 1% who serve and the 99% they protect—partnering with veterans, creators, and media to replace harmful myths with real stories of strength, healing, and leadership.

Through bold storytelling, national campaigns, and community action, we’re resetting the story—and restoring dignity for those who serve.

Because if the stories stay broken — so will the system.

Bridging the Divide, Confronting Misrepresentation, and Leading a New Conversation About Veterans and Mental Health.

Where truth meets creative power—to reconnect a nation that’s drifting apart.

Rewrite the Narrative (RTN) is a national campaign to bridge the military-civilian divide, confront stigma around PTSD and trauma, and take back how veterans and service members are portrayed across media, culture, and public conversation.

Powered by Victory Bridge Foundation and led by those who’ve lived it, RTN strategically partners with nationally recognized storytellers, visible voices, and platforms that shape opinion—ensuring the truth about service, strength, and healing reaches millions.

This is narrative change at scale—fueled by credibility, cultural reach, and unapologetic truth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rewrite the Narrative?

Rewrite the Narrative (RTN) is a national campaign to close the military-civilian divide, combat stigma around PTSD and trauma, and reclaim the way veterans and service members are portrayed in media and culture. It’s powered by Victory Bridge Foundation and built by veterans, creators, and allies.

What Is the Dominant Narrative We’re Shifting From?

The old narrative paints veterans as either heroes on a pedestal or threats on the fringe. It reduces complex lives to PTSD tropes, glorifies sacrifice while ignoring transition, and sells trauma for entertainment. It leaves 99% of the population disconnected from the 1% who serve—and vulnerable to foreign propaganda exploiting that gap.

How Is This Initiative Actively Changing That?

We’re mobilizing a cultural reset—online, on-air, and on the ground. Through bold storytelling, media reform, public engagement, and the Golden Victor Awards, we’re amplifying real stories of healing, leadership, and resilience. We’re training creators, briefing policymakers, equipping families, and building a national alliance that redefines what it means to serve—and to come home.

Who can participate in this campaign?

Everyone. Whether you’re a veteran, active duty, family member, educator, policymaker, creator, employer—or just someone who cares—there’s a place for you. This is about collective responsibility and shared healing.
