While Dr. London had no personal role in the project, he says: "I am very proud of our support for this critical USNI initiative preserving America's unparalleled legacy in defending freedom. The documentary is a 'living history' of our veterans' accomplishments, in their own words and experiences."
Dr. London joined CACI in 1972, became President and Chief Executive Officer in 1984, Chairman of the Board in 1990, and Executive Chairman in 2007.

He has led the company's continued growth from by taking advantage of emerging trend lines and positioning CACI to develop capabilities of increasing value to clients. A well-known public speaker on the subject of ethics in business, Dr. London annually presents the Dr. J. Phillip London Award for Promoting Ethical Behavior at the HR Leadership Awards of Greater Washington each year.
Upon on his election Dr. London said, "On behalf of CACI, I am extremely proud and honored to serve on the U.S. Naval Institute Board of Directors.
