Beyond the Battlefield: Ranger Jackson on Life After Service

In this quick reflection, Ranger Jon Jackson opens up about the challenges many Rangers face—not just during the transition to civilian life, but well beyond. Despite being connected through shared experience, many feel isolated, driven to achieve something as meaningful—or even greater—than their time in service.

Rangers are talented, mission-focused, and relentless in their pursuit of purpose. But behind that drive, many quietly wrestle with mental health struggles and strained relationships.

That’s why the Ranger Legacy Center is so important. As Ranger Jackson shares, it’s more than a concept—it’s a place where Rangers can be inspired by fellow Rangers. A place for real connection. A space to align with who they are, not just who they were in uniform.

As Mike Burke of Legends of the 75th says: “We were reminded that the Ranger story isn’t just written in war—it’s written in what comes after. In mentorship. In family. In how we show up for each other when the uniform comes off.”

The future Ranger Legacy Center isn’t just a building. It’s a home base. A movement. A shared responsibility.
