VetComm CEO and Marine Corps Veteran Kate Monroe Honors Her Master Sergeant at Annual Service & Sacrifice Military Gala

Kate Monroe presents the 'Marine Corps Valor and Service Award' to her former Master Sergeant, Dallas Rogers (Ret.), at the 2025 Service & Sacrifice Gala.

The event, sponsored in part by VETCOMM, brought together San Diego County officials, distinguished veterans and notable organizations united in their mission to support America’s heroes. Monroe, who attended the gala in 2024, returned this year not only as an honored guest but also as a sponsor. She took the stage to present the "Marine Corps Valor and Service Award" to her mentor and personal hero, Rogers, honoring him as the foundation of her strength—the guiding force whose influence continues to shape her leadership and echo through every veteran she now serves.

“This man right here pattern-interrupted my entire life,” said Monroe during her tribute. “He is the hero’s shoulders that I stand on now to be able to arrive violently on behalf of other people—because he was willing to provide cover protection for me so that I could provide protection for you. I will never forget you—and I love you so much.”

During her remarks, Monroe reflected on her time as a young Marine and shared how Rogers’ leadership helped guide her through challenges that shaped her into the leader she is today. She continues to honor that legacy through her work advocating for veterans’ rights and raising awareness about the struggles facing the veteran community.

Monroe and her organization, VETCOMM, were recognized with the "Saluting Your Dedication to Those Who Serve You Award," honoring their ongoing efforts to empower and uplift veterans across the country. The gala also highlighted other outstanding organizations making a difference in veterans’ lives, showcasing the community’s collective impact and shared dedication to supporting those who have served our country.

Through its ongoing partnerships and community involvement, VETCOMM continues to strengthen its mission of helping veterans access the benefits they’ve earned. By combining advocacy, education and compassion, the organization is transforming how veterans navigate the VA system and inspiring a nationwide movement to better serve those who served.

VETCOMM offers a Money-Back Guarantee for veterans who follow the full process as outlined. When you sign up, you agree to allow us two attempts to help you secure at least a 10% VA rating. To remain eligible for a refund, you must attend all scheduled appointments with our team and complete your VA-requested C&P exams.

If your first VETCOMM-assisted claim results in a total VA rating increase of 10% or more, the goal of the course has been achieved and the guarantee is fulfilled. No refund is issued.

If your first claim does not lead to a 10% total increase, VETCOMM will assist you in filing a second claim.
If the second claim results in a 10% or greater increase, the goal has been achieved and the guarantee is fulfilled.

If your second claim also does not result in a 10% total increase, you have two options:

  1. Request a full refund

  2. Proceed with a third filing and waive your right to a refund

Filing a third claim fulfills the guarantee obligation, regardless of outcome. Many veterans require multiple filings due to documentation challenges or individual circumstances that affect how the VA awards ratings. While we assist in the process, approval decisions are made solely by the VA.

There are a few situations where the Guarantee Refund Policy does not apply:

  • Veterans with a 90% Total Disability Rating:
    Due to how the VA calculates ratings, increasing from 90% to 100% is very difficult. VETCOMM will still assist with up to three (3) VETCOMM-assisted claims, but no refund will be issued if a 10% total increase is not awarded.

  • Veterans with an Other Than Honorable (OTH) Discharge:
    Veterans with an OTH discharge can still file claims with VETCOMM. However, because of additional VA restrictions, we will assist with up to two (2) VETCOMM-assisted claims, and no refund will be issued if a 10% total increase is not awarded.
