Collective Vision
On March 20, 2025, a diverse group representing the Army Ranger community gathered at the University of North Georgia to discuss the growing movement to share the heart and soul of what it truly means to be a Ranger. The group also worked to establish the key priorities and non-negotiables for a future Ranger Legacy Center. Attendees traveled from eight states and included Rangers from Vietnam through the Global War on Terror and into the present day (Regiment/1st Bn/2nd Bn/3rd Bn/RSTB/ARTB), along with Ranger wives, Gold Star parents, a Gold Star daughter, and committed civilian supporters who have stood by the Ranger community. It was an inspiring day, reflecting on the Ranger Legacy—past, present, and future. This movement is expansive, with many more individuals continuing to contribute to its growing impact.
Special thanks to Ranger Raye Perez for his expertise, patience, and enthusiasm. He truly ignited the passion of all those present for the mission.
