🇺🇸 Meet Rudy Flores
Model – ENCORE 2nd Edition
After over 20 years of honorable service as a U.S. Army First Sergeant—including multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan—Rudy Flores continues to lead by example. 🙌
Today, Rudy shares his journey of resilience, recovery, and rediscovery as a wounded warrior. Through the ENCORE fashion show, he’s using his platform to inspire others and highlight the strength found in vulnerability.
💬 “Vulnerability is not a weakness, but a gateway to healing and growth. Through resilience and reconstruction, I’ve learned that purpose can be rebuilt even after life-altering setbacks.”
