ECHO Group in Second Life
The Only Official Military & Veteran Gateway in the Metaverse
Step into a virtual world where healing, connection, and brotherhood continue—no matter the distance. The ECHO Group Band of Brothers Second Life Gateway is a unique virtual experience designed specifically for Veterans, their families, and supporters. We are proud to be the only military and Veteran-focused Gateway Sim in Second Life, hand-selected by Linden Lab to serve as the official welcome center for those who served.
What Is Second Life?
Second Life is a free, 3D virtual world where users can socialize, explore, and build meaningful connections in real time. With thousands of environments to visit and communities to join, Second Life offers a creative and immersive experience like no other.
But what makes our space different?
When new users register using our exclusive Gateway link, they skip the generic "Orientation Island" and land directly at the ECHO Group’s Veteran Gateway Sim—a custom-built virtual hub created by and for Veterans.

“Second Life gave me something I didn’t know I was missing—a way to reconnect without pressure. Through the Echo Group’s Band of Brothers virtual community, I found people who truly understand what I’ve been through. I got actual resource help for my Veteran health and disability issues, it is not a game—it’s a lifeline.”
