20 YEARS OF SERVICE
Two Decades of Service. A New Chapter Begins.
On June 23, 2026, Still Serving Veterans marked its 20th anniversary with the official opening of its new headquarters on Wynn Drive in Huntsville. Veterans, staff, community leaders, partners, donors, and friends gathered for a ribbon cutting and a celebration of this important milestone.
The event honored two decades of helping Veterans and their families navigate life after military service—and the community whose support has made that work possible.
As SSV begins its next chapter, the new facility reflects its continued commitment to meeting the growing needs of the Veterans it serves.

INAUGURAL SSV FOUNDER’S AWARD
Honoring Scotty Smiley
During the celebration, SSV presented its inaugural Founder’s Award to retired U.S. Army officer Scotty Smiley. After being blinded and temporarily paralyzed by a suicide car bomb in Iraq, Smiley went on to become the first blind active-duty officer in U.S. military history and later served as an instructor at West Point.
His story of courage, resilience, faith, and hope has inspired countless others and made him a fitting first recipient of the award.
