It started with a mic and a desire to sit down with my heroes.
Legends of the 75th was never meant to be more than a podcast—a way to capture the voices of those who carried the scroll, who bore the weight of leadership, sacrifice, and the unrelenting standard.
But it grew. Because the stories kept coming. And they weren’t just stories—they were lessons. Warnings. Blueprints. Echoes of something bigger than all of us.
Last week, we found ourselves in the very presence of those echoes—Ranger Hall of
Fame inductees, Ranger non-profit leaders, and Gold Star families who showed us what
legacy really looks like.
These weren’t handshakes and photo ops. These were moments. Conversations in
quiet corners. Long embraces. Cracked voices. The kind of moments where you
remember why you’re doing this in the first place.
We sat across from men who built the standard—and still live it. No spotlight. No ego.
Just conviction.
We listened to mothers, wives and brothers of the fallen speak with a kind of strength
that silences a room. They didn’t ask for sympathy. They asked that we remember. That
we say their names. That we never let the sacrifice fade.
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.
Legends is no longer just a podcast. It’s a platform. A mission. A responsibility. We’re
capturing voices, preserving legacies, and telling the story of the Ranger
community—not as it was, but as it is, and must continue to be.
So, to those who spoke, who shared, who trusted us last week—thank you. Your stories
are our mission now. And we won’t stop.
This was Legacy Week.
And this is just the beginning.
