This year’s Ranger Legacy Foundation Annual Report is different by design… it is interactive.

Throughout the report, readers can click links or scan QR codes to access deeper information, short videos, expanded stories, and additional context that brings our work to life. We created this experience intentionally, because transparency should not be static. It should invite exploration, understanding, and engagement.

The beginning of a new year invites reflection. For the Ranger Legacy Foundation, it also demands forward motion.

Rangers are not defined by standing still. We are defined by preparation, clarity of mission, and disciplined execution. As we enter this new year, we do so grounded in what we have built, guided by a clear strategic plan, and energized by new opportunities to serve the Ranger community and our nation.

The Ranger Legacy Foundation is deeply proud to welcome Brian Yarusevich as our newest Camo Jacket Society Member and as a Ranger Legacy Center plankholder in honor of his father, Alan J. Yarusevich.

The purpose of the Black and Tan link up is to leverage an event that brings Rangers and businesses that support Rangers together in one geographic area. Black and Tan convenes the Ranger community for one night to reunite, intentionally network to grow business opportunities, and fundraise for a Ranger centric cause. Bringing together the Ranger community is advantageous to networking and supporting one another for corporate and philanthropic endeavors.

James Knuppenburg’s journey is a powerful story of resilience, leadership, and relentless self-improvement. After a difficult childhood in the foster care system, Knuppenburg found direction through military service, joining 1st Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment and deploying five times to Afghanistan.

End of year giving opportunities to meet all you philanthropic desires.

On October 13th, our friends at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP graciously hosted the Ranger Legacy Foundation and our guests for a special mission brief social in Washington, D.C. We called this brief, From the Frontlines to the Future. The purpose of this evening was to formally unveil the architectural concept design and renderings for the Ranger Legacy Center.

When you walk into a room full of Army Rangers, you feel it before you hear it, that quiet sense of connection, like invisible threads holding everyone in place. No one has to explain it. It’s understood. A nod, a handshake, a look. The sum of all parts silently affirm a bond built through shared purpose, discipline, and sacrifice.
