This year, we kick off our Thirty Days of Gratitude with US Army Veteran and Gold Star Spouse Aaron Hudgins — a man whose journey embodies service, sacrifice, and strength.
“Gratitude means more when you've seen both sides of service — the pride of wearing the uniform and the pain of losing someone you love who wore it too.”
Aaron reminds us that gratitude isn’t just about what we’ve been given — it’s about the people who walk beside us and the mission we carry forward together. Through his leadership with the Travis Manion Foundation and the launch of the TMF Central Oklahoma Chapter, Aaron is proof that purpose can rise from pain and community can heal through action.
This Veterans Month, we’re grateful for Aaron and every member of the TMF family who continues to live by the creed:
“If Not Me, Then Who…”
🫡 Thank you, Aaron, for showing us that while loss may change our story, it never ends the mission.
