Thank you to all those who attended our meet ups this month in Florida, Georgia, DC, and Colorado!

We have three Mentor Meet-Ups coming up. If you are not a mentor yet, please still stop by to learn more. The purpose of these events is to build camaraderie and expand the network. Please feel free to share with your Ranger buddies.

This month, TRF and Young County Warrior Ranch joined forces to host a poignant event, welcoming Ms. Diane Hammond and Mr. Sandrino Plutino, the Gold Star parents of Ranger Sergeant Alessandro Plutino from the 1st Ranger Battalion. SGT Plutino was Killed in Action on August 8, 2011, in Paktya, Afghanistan, during a firefight with enemies of the US.

We held two Ranger for Life Retirement Symposiums. TRF Mentors and advocates covered a range of topics such as financial readiness, education, VA benefits, entrepreneurship, and spouse tips.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us in honoring the legacy of the last Merrill’s Marauder, Russell "Huck" Hamler, during his interment on January 19, 2024, at the National Cemetery of The Alleghenies.

The "Once an Eagle" Ceremony, featuring current and former Rangers, was a poignant reminder of the enduring camaraderie and shared heritage within our Ranger community.

December marked a significant moment as we unveiled the 75th Ranger Regiment Tribute plaque at the National Museum for the United States Army. This heartfelt ceremony paid homage to the brave souls who've served and sacrificed. Special thanks to our generous donors who made this tribute possible. Your support ensures that the legacy of these extraordinary Rangers continues to shine brightly.

Marcus Hull, TRF's Chairman of the Board and Financial Director, had the honor of presenting to RBC Wealth Management employees about TRF's impactful Gold Star and Ranger for Life programs. Among the attendees were Jennifer and Frank Pilla, Gold Star sister and brother of SGT Dominic Pilla, a hero from the Battle of Mogadishu.

The 2023 Virtual Mog Mile was an incredible success, marking the 30th anniversary of Operation Gothic Serpent. This year's event witnessed our largest participation yet, with dedicated individuals joining virtually from across the globe. In the spirit of unity and remembrance, 18 national event meet-ups were hosted by different individuals and organizations, bringing people together to honor and pay tribute to the fallen heroes Task Force Ranger. Thank you to our participants, meet-up hosts, and sponsors who came together to commemorate and remember.
