Team RWB - Birmingham

Thank you Ethan for proudly representing Team RWB in the Magic City Half Marathon. The Magic City Half has graciously donated bibs over the years to Team RWB to show love to its Birmingham Veterans and we value our relationship with them and many races in our wonderful city.

It was a family affair with his brother crushing his first 1/2 with a great time and Ethan’s wife and dad volunteering at the aid station. We are proud to have you and your family serving Team RWB and for you toting Old Glory 🇺🇸

Feel good story for Veterans Day.

One of my SNCO’s found some documents that included a Purple Heart decoration, which is awarded in the name of the President, to those wounded or killed while serving. This medal was lost, misplaced, or ended up in her hands and she trusted Team RWB to find the recipient or family to honor this soldier’s efforts and return it to the proper hands.

Steve and Jim, our Birmingham Eagles, went to work and through the VA Hospital, was able to place it back in the hands of the rightful recipient, Mr. Dorsey. While I wasn’t there to see him re-receive it, I can’t help but be thankful for his service, proud of our RWB folks for ensuring its delivery, and wanted to share this story with you.

There are relics all around us. Some decorations, markers, statues, museums, & some forgotten or lost/found in storage—our great country created days that are dedicated to remembering that same service from back then, like Memorial Day for the fallen or for all service men and woman, Veterans Day.

We are all on our way to becoming relics ourselves, what a great reminder for us all to reconnect with service, attach/re-connect meaning to others service, & take action so that actions of a valiant few aren’t lost forever, but found and returned with the grateful hearts we should all have.

Join us for our 1st quarter social on Thursday, March 10th at Moss Rock Tacos and Tequila at Moss Rock Preserve. We'll meet at 6pm and the food will be covered by Team RWB - Birmingham (Alcoholic beverages individual responsibility). Make sure to bring a vet to learn more about Team RWB - Birmingham. See you Thursday!
