Burpees suck. Nobody likes them. Nobody sane, anyway.
But 250 burpees to honor those who served? That's a helluvah reason to embrace the suck.
November 6–15. 250 burpees. One mission.

80 years young and still climbing mountains! 🦅 🔥
Meet Eagle Bob Johnson, a Vietnam War Veteran, Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient, and Team RWB volunteer leader who proves that adventure doesn't have an age limit.
To celebrate his 80th birthday, Bob set his sights on climbing Mount Baker in Washington. And he didn't stop there. He turned his adventure into an opportunity to help underserved youth experience the outdoors, too.
From rucking 100+ miles a month to leading group hikes and building connections with fellow Veterans, Bob is living proof of what it means to keep moving, keep connecting, and keep showing up.
Senior Planet from @AARP recently featured Bob's incredible story, including how getting involved with Team RWB changed his life.
We're proud to have you in the Eagle family, Bob!

250 burpees isn't easy. But showing up, doing hard things together, and honoring Veterans through action? That's what being an Eagle is all about.
Let's get after it!

Talk about Eagle fire. 🔥🦅
Soaring Eagle Jeff Baldo just crossed the finish line at the Berlin Marathon... and he’s already set his sights on Sydney!
Jeff is on a mission to complete all eight Abbott World Marathon Majors as a Soaring Eagle, fundraising for Team RWB along the way. So far, he’s raised more than $46,000 toward an incredible $250,000 goal to support our mission.
One marathon at a time. One finish line at a time. And a whole lot of impact along the way.
Way to soar, Jeff!

30+ miles. 4 days off the grid. And just about every kind of weather Colorado could throw at them. 🏔️🦅🔥
From 17–20 SEP, a group of Eagles headed into the Rocky Mountains for an unforgettable Eagle Expedition led by Old Glory Ultra Relay runner and Eagle Expedition Guide Bill Savage.
They trekked sections of the Colorado Trail and Continental Divide Trail, hiked to an alpine lake at 12,000 feet (and yes, some went swimming 🥶), spotted two moose, wandered through golden aspens, and powered through rain, hail, snow, and sunshine — sometimes all in the same hour.
Along the way, they stayed in historic 10th Mountain Division huts, connecting the adventure to the legacy of the WWII soldiers who trained for mountain warfare in the Colorado Rockies.
But some of the best moments happened after the hiking stopped: roaring fires, card games, "gourmet" shelf-stable meals, clear night skies, and time together away from the noise.
Hard miles. Good people. One epic Eagle Expedition.
Want in? Stay tuned for your chance to apply for one of next year's Eagle Expeditions.
3,006 miles. One American flag. $1M raised for Veterans.

You know the actor. You may not know the Veteran.
Jimmy Stewart was already one of Hollywood’s biggest stars when he put his acting career on hold to serve during World War II.
Drafted in 1941, Stewart went from the Army Air Corps to the cockpit, eventually flying 20 combat missions over Europe. His military service continued long after the war, and he ultimately rose to the rank of brigadier general in the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
JIMMY tells the story of the service, sacrifice, and experiences behind an American icon.
We’re honored that Team RWB was selected as a nonprofit partner highlighted alongside the film, connecting Stewart’s legacy of service with a community continuing to serve and support Veterans today.
Watch the trailer now, then catch @jimmymovie2026 in a theater near you beginning November 6. 🇺🇸
Connection matters. So does movement, community, having people who notice when you show up... and when you don’t.
At Team RWB, we bring Veterans together through physical activity and community because both can play an important role in supporting mental health and well-being.
Sometimes, more support is needed. That’s why partnerships matter.
This Suicide Prevention Month, we’re proud to stand alongside Face The Fight and organizations across the country working to ensure Veterans and their families can find the right support when they need it.
Take care of yourself. Check in on your people. Keep showing up for each other.

Hard things can show us what we’re capable of. But we don’t have to do them alone.
At the Big Bear @spartanrace, Team RWB Eagle Leader and Navy Veteran Theresa Alcazar was taking on the final race of her Spartan Trifecta: the 10K Super.
When her fellow Eagles realized she hadn’t returned, they called. The moment they heard her voice, they knew she needed her team.
So they went looking for her.
They found Theresa on the course, rallied around her, and walked beside her through the remaining miles. She crossed the finish line and earned her Trifecta—with her team beside her.
That’s what Team RWB is all about. We challenge ourselves to do hard things, but when one Eagle needs us, we show up. No Eagle finishes alone.
This week, Spartan is showing up for our community, too. During Spartan’s Week of Giving, September 14–20, Team RWB is one of the organizations they’re supporting as they work toward a $100,000 goal for causes serving kids, Veterans, first responders, and communities.
We’re grateful to Spartan for believing in the power of challenge, community, and helping more people discover what they’re capable of. 🇺🇸💪
