Team Red, White & Blue

From early morning miles to late-night pushes, @blackriflecoffee helped fuel GWOT 100 every step of the way. We’re proud to have had them alongside the mission, helping keep Eagles moving through every mile logged.

Today, on Vietnam Veterans Day, we honor those who served in Vietnam and recognize the strength, sacrifice, and resilience they carried long after returning home. Their stories shaped generations of service members who followed, and their legacy continues to live on in communities like ours. We remember their service, we listen to their stories, and we thank them for what they gave.

They ran through the freezing cold all night long. And they did it for those who can't. The inaugural Thunder Run in Jacksonville Beach, FL on 1 FEB 26 is how we kicked off GWOT 100. The mini doc is LIVE. Watch it now: youtu.be/zCa3vNDfQac

The first Medals of Honor were awarded during the Civil War to a group of volunteers who signed up for a mission most thought they wouldn’t survive. In 1862, a small team led by civilian spy James J. Andrews slipped deep into Confederate territory on a daring mission to sabotage railways and communication lines between Atlanta and Chattanooga. The operation became known as the Great Locomotive Chase, and the men who carried it out would later be remembered as Andrews’ Raiders. Many were captured. Several were executed. But their courage became the foundation of what the Medal of Honor represents today. From those first recipients to the more than 3,500 who have followed, the Medal of Honor stands for extraordinary bravery in service to others. Today we honor the heroes who earned it, and the legacy of service they represent.

Most organizations don’t fail because they lack effort. They fail because they mistake stability for success.

Jeff joined Team RWB and got right to work. 💪 He’s already logged more than 140 miles during Team RWB’s GWOT 100 challenge and is 25 pounds down toward his goal of losing 50 this year. But for Jeff, this journey started with a hard truth: “I was not happy when I looked at myself in the mirror. I was heavier than I had ever been and I was flat out not healthy.” After 22 years in the Army, knee pain, setbacks after surgery, and depression made it harder to keep moving. “I had been dealing with depression for most of last year… I decided it was time to do a check-in again. So I did.” Now he’s rebuilding momentum one challenge at a time, using Team RWB as the structure to chase what’s next: bigger goals, bigger milestones, and proof that progress stacks when you keep showing up. teamrwb.org/blog/one-step-…

This morning, our Executive Director Michael Sullivan met with Walter Piatt, CEO of @wwp, at their headquarters to talk about the future of Veteran health and well-being. Wounded Warrior Project has been a huge part of Team RWB's journey over the years, and conversations like this one are how we keep building on that together. No single organization can solve the challenges Veterans face, but when organizations with shared values collaborate, the impact multiplies. We're proud to be in this work together.
