June is PTSD Awareness Month.

For many veterans, the challenges of military service don't end when they return home. PTSD can affect every aspect of life - from relationships and careers to physical and mental well-being - but recovery is possible, and no one should have to face it alone.

This month, we recognize the strength it takes to ask for help, the importance of reducing stigma around mental health, and the power of community in the healing process.

At Wyakin Foundation, we are committed to supporting veterans as they navigate the transition to civilian life by providing connection, mentorship, guidance, and a community that understands.

BIG NEWS!

We are thrilled to welcome Inventive Group as our NEW Grand Slam Title Sponsor for the 2026 and 2027 Salute & Shoot Sporting Clay Tournament!

Through their family of brands — In The Ditch Towing Products, Razorback Offroad, Fish Fighter Products, and Inventive Products — Inventive Group is making a two-year commitment to supporting veterans as they build successful and fulfilling civilian futures.

Their investment goes beyond sponsorship. It is a commitment to the veterans we serve, the opportunities we create, and the stronger communities we build together.

And that's not all! Fish Fighter Products has graciously donated two incredible high-value raffle items for this year's event. Be sure to keep an eye out for them when you join us at the Salute & Shoot on June 10th.

Razorback Offroad is also stepping up as the exclusive Full Choke Lunch Sponsor, and attendees will have the opportunity to check out some of their products during lunch at the event.

We are incredibly grateful for everything Inventive Group and their brands are bringing to this year's tournament and for their commitment to making next year's event even stronger. Partnerships like this help make the Salute & Shoot possible while creating lasting impact for the veterans we serve.

Please join us in welcoming and thanking Inventive Group for stepping up as our Grand Slam Title Sponsor!

With 67 veterans currently in our program, George stays busy meeting one-on-one with each veteran at least once every month.

These meetings are about far more than check-ins. They’re about building trust, navigating challenges, setting goals, and making sure every veteran has the individualized support they need as they transition into meaningful civilian careers.

This kind of consistent, relationship-based support is at the heart of what makes Wyakin different.

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifice behind our freedoms and to remember those who never made it home. Their courage, service, and legacy will never be forgotten.

At the Wyakin Foundation, we are continually reminded that the cost of freedom is not free. Today, we honor the fallen and stand alongside the families, friends, and fellow service members who carry their memory forward.

We remember them today and every day.
