The power of the "Be Known" Campaign by Permian Warrior Partnership.
In the heart of the Permian Basin the #BeKnown campaign, is a movement led by the @Permian Warrior Partnership (PWP) to bring the Veteran community together. With a community of over 15,000 veterans, this campaign is a collective action, to get Veterans the support they need and be heard. The importance of veterans' voices, in shaping community needs, is often overlooked and PWP is determined to make change.
Imagine the impact if all 15,000+ veterans in our community actively participated in community outreach. The collective voice would be deafening, echoing through the #permianbasin and demanding attention from politicians and those responsible for policies in all areas. The "Be Known" campaign is not a political campaign but instead, an attempt to bring Veterans together and push for a better life outside the military. As many Veterans express their concerns about healthcare, education, and other areas, without a collective voice, our concerns go unheard.
Beyond local polices, the campaign recognizes the need for veterans to support one another. Whether it’s making connections for business, seeking resources for life's necessities, or simply finding comfort in the company of like-minded individuals, the bonds that Veterans form at PWP events are like no other. The "Be Known" campaign serves as an avenue for veterans to come together, fostering a network of support and camaraderie that extends far beyond the hosted meetups and events. For instance, The 2nd Wednesday of every month PWP hosts a meetup called “Coffee With Sarge.” A local company sponsors the event each month and treats our Veteran community to coffee and breakfast. This week Big D Companies and Roto-Versal Energy Services showed up and supported the event in full force. It was great to see how many Veterans they had in their workforce.
This event is not only open to Veterans but to those who actively support the veteran community. We had our largest showing today and are continuing to grow! As we get together, we talk about local events and resources such as the one’s listed below:

The "Be Known" campaign also has potential to effect meaningful change within the community. By amplifying the Veteran voice and creating new connections, the campaign paves the way for a stronger community, where veterans are not only recognized but actively engaged in shaping a stronger message. As numbers grow and Veterans join the “Be Known” campaign we strengthen our voice and create awareness within the community.
As the Permian Warrior Partnership continues to spearhead the movement, its impact throughout the community, ignites a sense of purpose and unity among veterans. It serves to create friendships, and connect those who have served, reminding us of the power behind of having a mission.
