Ed Artis, Jim Laws, and Walt Ratterman are former soldiers and modern-day knights. They travel the world delivering life-saving humanitarian aid directly into the hands of civilians and doctors on the front lines of war.

They are self-styled Knights of Malta. In 1995, they formed Knightsbridge International, a humanitarian aid organization, whose motto is "High Adventure and Service to Humanity."
