It only takes one person to make a seismic shift in the trajectory of another’s life.
New US Army Ranger Association president Jeff Wright can point to the reason he became a Ranger. As an ROTC cadet at the University of Texas, Jeff took notice of a cadre member with service in the 75th Ranger Regiment. To Jeff, that Ranger was the epitome of what a leader should be, an example to follow. Jeff would seek a commission in combat arms and eventually earned an assignment to the 1st Ranger Battalion as a fire support officer.
With a mission of fostering fellowship within the ranks of Rangers of all eras, it is no surprise that Jeff took USARA’s mantle of leadership with the desire to expand opportunities and places “for Rangers to be Rangers.” Jeff experienced the difference that just one Ranger could make in his career and wants to expand on the opportunities for others through the association’s formal Patrol Base structure and informal events.
The sense of community Jeff aspires to enhance is rooted in his faith. Jeff’s faith was tested his daughter was born with Spina Bifida, a birth defect in which an area of the spinal column doesn't form properly, leaving a section of the spinal cord and spinal nerves exposed through an opening in the back. His family’s ability to best support his daughter and maintain stability was made possible by his understanding of his unique place in his community.
Experiencing the healing power of connection, Jeff is continuing to foster the familial bonds that Rangers share. He knows the power of what one Ranger buddy can mean to another #forAmerica.
