Operation New Uniform

This week, as Operation New Uniform visited San Antonio during the 2026 Warrior Games, we had the opportunity to see firsthand the deep commitment this community has to supporting service members, veterans, and military spouses. ❤️

Part of that experience included meeting with Jeff Webster, President & CEO of the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce; Tim Farrell, Vice President of Military Affairs and Aerospace & Cybersecurity; and Randy Smith, Vice President of Membership Development.

Our conversation highlighted the partnerships, workforce initiatives, and community-wide support that make San Antonio a place where military-connected individuals can build successful futures long after their service ends.

As Operation New Uniform explores opportunities to expand our impact in Military City USA, we're grateful for the warm welcome, valuable insights, and meaningful conversations that are helping us better understand how we can serve this community.

Thank you to the Greater San Antonio Chamber for sharing your perspective and for the important role you play in strengthening opportunities for veterans, military spouses, and the broader military community! 👏

Some missions are bigger than the products they create. ❤️

Recently, ONU Director of Operations Michael Dargavell and his family visited Rethreaded in Jacksonville, a local nonprofit dedicated to restoring the lives of survivors of human trafficking through employment, career development, and supportive services.

During the visit, they toured Rethreaded's campus, learned more about their life-changing work, and explored opportunities to collaborate on a line of custom items crafted from repurposed military uniforms. 🎖️

The idea is simple but powerful: transform uniforms that carry stories of service into meaningful keepsakes, while supporting an organization that is helping individuals rebuild their lives and futures.

We're inspired by the incredible work Rethreaded is doing in our community and excited about the potential to create products that honor military service, preserve personal legacies, and make a lasting impact.

We’re honored to be featured in USA TODAY's special edition, Saluting Our Vets, in an article highlighting nonprofit organizations that are helping veterans, service members, military spouses, and their families navigate the transition from military service to civilian careers. 🇺🇸

The story recognizes the important work being done across the veteran support community, and we’re proud to see Operation New Uniform included alongside other organizations making a meaningful impact. Through career readiness training, mentorship, networking opportunities, and personalized support, ONU remains committed to helping military-connected individuals build fulfilling futures beyond the uniform.
