Jason Redman
Jason C. Redman is a retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer, author, and motivational speaker renowned for his leadership and resilience. After enlisting in the Navy in 1992, he served in various SEAL teams, participating in missions in Colombia, Peru, Afghanistan, and Iraq. In 2007, during an operation near Fallujah, Iraq, Redman was severely wounded by machine gun fire, resulting in multiple injuries. While recovering at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, he displayed remarkable resilience by posting a sign on his hospital door that read:
"Attention to all who enter here. If you are coming into this room with sorrow or to feel sorry for my wounds, go elsewhere."
This sign became a symbol of determination and strength for wounded warriors nationwide.
After retiring from the Navy in 2013, Redman founded Wounded Wear, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting wounded veterans through clothing, clothing modifications, and empowering events. He also authored the memoir "The Trident: The Forging and Reforging of a Navy SEAL Leader" and the book "Overcome: Crush Adversity with the Leadership Techniques of America's Toughest Warriors." In addition to his nonprofit work, Redman serves on the advisory board of the Concussion Legacy Foundation, contributing to research on brain injuries in the military community.

Special Thanks to AARP
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to AARP Wyoming for their generous support in 2025. Their $5,000 donation enabled us to provide comprehensive training for Bridget, a Bernedoodle service dog, who is now assisting her handler, Mr. Sumer, in managing PTSD and enhancing his daily life. (aarp.org)
Currently, AARP Wyoming is funding the training of Nova, a second service dog, who is set to complete her training soon. Nova will play a crucial role in supporting her handler, helping them lead a happier and healthier life.
Without AARP's support, these life-changing opportunities would not have been possible. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to improving the lives of veterans and their families.
