A CALL TO FELLOWSHIP FOR 75TH RANGER VETERANS

Brothers,
I had the pleasure of attending the 42d Annual Best Ranger Competition recently at FBGA. It was awesome to watch the Regiment sweep First, Second, and Third Place. However, what was even more important was the face-to-face meetings with many old Ranger buddies. I enjoy the TRF Ranger meetups, and I attend (in person) all the Ranger events that I can manage. The bonds we forged in service are not just memories—they are living testimonies of courage, sacrifice, and brotherhood. God’s Word reminds us, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17). Our shared experiences have shaped us, and staying connected strengthens not only our friendships but also our faith. It will do your soul good to reconnect with a Ranger buddy.

Life after you hang up the uniform can sometimes feel like a different battlefield—one where isolation, busyness, and distance can quietly erode the ties that once held us so close. That’s why reunions and linkups matter. They are more than social gatherings; they are moments of healing, encouragement, and spiritual renewal. When we come together, we remind each other that we are never alone in our struggles or our victories. We share stories, lift each other in prayer, and stand as living proof of God’s sustaining grace. Hebrews 10:24-25 calls us to “consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds… not giving up meeting together… but encouraging one another.”

We have a huge opportunity, and you still have time to plan and attend the Ranger Rendezvous 2026. If you cannot make Ranger Rendezvous, search the various Ranger organizations, websites, and Signal Threads for more local opportunities to link up. Make it a priority to reach out to guys you may not have heard from in a bit, plan your own mini-reunions if you cannot make the big events, and keep the Ranger brotherhood strong. Whether it’s a large reunion like BRC or Ranger Rendezvous or just a quick cup of coffee with a fellow Ranger, every connection matters.

If you don’t know how to get connected, reach out to me-- call, email/DM and I will help you reestablish comms with the tribe!

Rangers Lead the Way—together, in service and in faith.

RLTW!
