In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, Special Operations elements and Combat Controllers swiftly took action in October 2001, leading the charge against those who supported and sheltered terrorists. This pivotal moment marked the genesis of Operation Enduring Freedom. Despite OEF officially ending after 13 years on December 28, 2014, the conflict in Afghanistan endured, transitioning to Operation Freedom's Sentinel. #FirstThere #CombatControl #EnduringFreedom #OEF #Afghanistan

🎄🐾 This season of giving, we’re reminded of the incredible blessings that make a lasting impact. Meet Jake, a USAF Combat Controller, sharing how blessed he feels to welcome a Sheepadoodle puppy into his life. Thanks to the generosity of Texan Doodles, this puppy will soon begin training to become a life-changing service dog for Jake and his family. Through our First There 4 Wellness program, we are honored to support these warriors and their families with gifts that embody the true spirit of the season. Thank you again, Texan Doodles, for helping us make this possible. 💙❤️ #SeasonOfGiving #FirstThere #ServiceDog #Sheepadoodle #CombatControl #TexanDoodles
