This is incredible!

🇺🇸 BUY A TAG. FEED A HERO! 🇺🇸

This Veterans Day, we’re on a mission to feed 500 veterans, and we need YOUR help!

Starting NOW through Veterans Day, stop by Oklahoma Smoke BBQ and sponsor a veteran’s meal for just $20!

🏷️ Purchase a dog tag, write a personal message of thanks, and hang it on our wall.

🍖 On November 11, veterans and active-duty military can come in, show a valid military or veteran ID, select a tag from the wall, and enjoy a FREE meal paid for by someone in our community!

❤️ We’ve already purchased the first round ourselves. Now let’s see what our community can do together!

500 tags. 500 meals. 500 thank-yous.

📍 Oklahoma Smoke BBQ | Moore, OK

🇺🇸 Let’s fill that wall, Oklahoma!

🇺🇸 R22 | REMEMBER. HONOR. REACH OUT.

Today is the 22nd, and at Warriors For Freedom, that means it’s time for our monthly Buddy Check.

But today, we’re doing something different.

We’re taking a moment to honor the Warriors we’ve lost to su***de. Not to focus on how they died, but to remember how they LIVED and the legacy they left behind.

❤️ Today, we honor Staff Sergeant Jari Hudgins, United States Army.

A proud Oklahoma native, Jari served with the 82nd Airborne and Oklahoma Army National Guard, deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan.

She was a Soldier, a leader, a wife, and a mother. Known for her courage, determination, and willingness to lead from the front, Jari dedicated her life to serving others.

On April 29, 2018, we lost Jari to su***de.

But her life was so much more than its final chapter.

Her legacy lives on through her family, the Soldiers she led, and the countless lives she touched.

Today, we remember her service, her strength, and the person she was.

And we ask you to do something in her honor.

📱 Send that text.
📞 Make that phone call.
☕ Invite a fellow Warrior to coffee.
❤️ Ask how they’re REALLY doing.

Don’t assume someone else is checking on them.

Sometimes the strongest people are carrying battles we cannot see.

Our R22 campaign is about more than awareness. It’s about taking action, building connections, and reminding our Warriors that they are never alone.

Today, do a Buddy Check in honor of SSG Jari Hudgins.

Because the best way to honor those we’ve lost is to show up for those who are still here.

🇺🇸 NO WARRIOR STANDS ALONE.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line.

Who says you can't teach an old Warrior new tricks? 😎

We're heading back to the Paseo Arts District for another incredible hands-on pottery experience, and we want YOU to join us!

This time, our Warriors will be designing and creating their very own ceramic bowls from scratch! No two bowls will be alike, and the best part? You don't need ANY pottery experience to participate!

At Warriors For Freedom, we believe building a strong community means creating opportunities to connect, try something new, share some laughs, and enjoy life outside of our everyday routines.

📅 Thursday, November 5, 2026
⏰ 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
📍 Paseo Pottery | 3017 Paseo, Oklahoma City

🏺 Create your own one-of-a-kind ceramic bowl!
🎨 No experience necessary!
🤝 Connect with fellow Warriors!

Your finished bowl will be fired and glazed after the workshop, and you'll be notified when it's ready for pickup.

A special thank you to our friends at Paseo Pottery for continuing to welcome our Warrior Community and helping us create these unique experiences! ❤️

🚨 SPACE IS LIMITED!

Don't miss your chance to get creative, make some memories, and spend an evening with your fellow Warriors.

What an incredible couple of days in Enid, Oklahoma! 🇺🇸⛳️

We had an absolute blast at the Dillingham Charity Classic, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing people and organizations who made this event such a success!

Dillingham Insurance has been one of the biggest champions of Warriors For Freedom, and their continued partnership means more to us than words can express. Their commitment to our mission goes far beyond sponsorship. They’re helping us make a real difference in the lives of veterans and their families.

Because of partners like Dillingham and the incredible sponsors who support this event, we’re able to break down barriers that prevent veterans from accessing basic needs, essential services, and the resources they deserve.

Whether it’s helping a veteran get to an important appointment, access food, or connect with critical services, your generosity creates opportunities for us to show up when our Warriors need us most.

To the Dillingham team, every sponsor, volunteer, golfer, and supporter who helped make the Charity Classic possible — THANK YOU! ❤️

We enjoyed the golf, the laughs, the conversations, and the friendships, but what makes this event truly special is knowing the impact will continue long after the tournament ends.

This is what happens when businesses and communities come together with a shared purpose.

You’re not just supporting an event. You’re helping us change lives.

Together, we’re keeping the mission in motion! 🇺🇸
