Shoutout to our Nebraska Eagles! 🦅 🔥
For Team RWB Nebraska State Coordinator Rob Cordray, it's about more than fitness. It's about making sure Veterans have a community where they belong.
From running, hiking, and biking to coffee meetups and game nights, our Nebraska Eagles are creating opportunities for Veterans to connect, stay active, and build healthier lives.
Rob recently shared the Team RWB mission with Papillion City Lifestyle as part of its feature highlighting local Veterans and organizations making a difference in their communities.

LFG!
Island adventures, Eagle style!
14 Eagles + 1 remote island = A whole lot of adventure!
Our latest California State Eagle Expedition took 14 Eagles to Santa Cruz Island in Channel Islands National Park for a week of exploring, connecting, and getting outside their comfort zones.
From hiking rugged trails and kayaking through sea caves to snorkeling, fishing, and keeping an eye out for the island's famous foxes, these Eagles made the most of every moment.
But the best part? The friendships formed, the bonds strengthened, and the memories made along the way.
A big thank you to our longtime partners at @NPCA for helping make experiences like this possible!
And adventures like these aren't limited to our national Eagle Expeditions! We also offer state and local opportunities for Eagles to explore, connect, and build community closer to home.
Looking for your next adventure? Join us December 8 at 7 PM ET for our virtual 2027 Eagle Expeditions launch event to see what's ahead!

80 years young and still climbing mountains! 🦅 🔥
Meet Eagle Bob Johnson, a Vietnam War Veteran, Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient, and Team RWB volunteer leader who proves that adventure doesn't have an age limit.
To celebrate his 80th birthday, Bob set his sights on climbing Mount Baker in Washington. And he didn't stop there. He turned his adventure into an opportunity to help underserved youth experience the outdoors, too.
From rucking 100+ miles a month to leading group hikes and building connections with fellow Veterans, Bob is living proof of what it means to keep moving, keep connecting, and keep showing up.
Senior Planet from @AARP recently featured Bob's incredible story, including how getting involved with Team RWB changed his life.
We're proud to have you in the Eagle family, Bob!
