Roger Owens, Co-Founder of Star Spangled Tea & Coffee Co., says every blend begins with a place, a person, or a moment that helped shape our nation. From the battlefields that secured our freedom to the small towns that define our character, from presidential homes to winding highways, every cup is crafted to celebrate the spirit of America.

Our company was founded by an Iraq War veteran of the 3rd Infantry Division and his wife, an educator who has spent more than two decades serving students. Together, we believed coffee and tea could become more than a daily ritual—they could become a way to preserve history, honor service, and inspire meaningful conversations.

Lisa Bradley, Co-Founder and CEO of R. Riveter, grew up in Columbus, MT – a small Rocky Mountain town. She studied Business + Entrepreneurship in the “Big City” of Bismarck, ND, where she met Jason Bradley. Soon after, she married into the Army and the two enjoyed four duty stations in just over six years. Lisa combined a “roll up the sleeves” mentality with her MBA to launch R. Riveter with her friend and co-founder, Cameron Cruse. Explore their latest handcrafted bags, accessories, and everyday essentials, thoughtfully created by military spouses and designed to accompany every adventure.

R. Riveter was founded on the American ideal that opportunity and innovation, when combined with determination, will create positive impact. The name was inspired by World War II cultural icon Rosie the Riveter who symbolizes the contribution women made to the workforce that helped win the war. In 2016, R. Riveter appeared on Shark Tank and partnered with investor Mark Cubin.

Commander Everett Alvarez, Jr. (U.S. Navy, Ret.) is a decorated American military veteran, author, attorney, entrepreneur, and former prisoner of war whose extraordinary story of courage, perseverance, and patriotism has inspired generations of Americans.

On August 5, 1964, while flying a combat mission over North Vietnam from the USS Constellation, Alvarez became the first American naval aviator shot down and captured during the Vietnam War. He endured more than eight years of captivity, including imprisonment and torture at the infamous “Hanoi Hilton,” before his release on February 12, 1973.

In December 2024, legislation awarding Alvarez the Congressional Gold Medal was signed into law, recognizing his extraordinary sacrifice and service to the nation. Commander Alvarez remains an enduring symbol of American resilience, military honor, faith, and dedication to country.

The Airpower Foundation is a leading voice and continues to champion America’s service members and veterans through innovative programs focused on emotional well-being, workforce development, and meaningful employment opportunities. It is honored to partner with the American Paint Horse Foundation and Courtney Phillips, a United States Army veteran and equine professional, who is an ambassador for (HFN) Honoring Freedom Night.

The Airpower Foundation’s Honoring Freedom Night brings our community together to celebrate and honor the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Through the power of horses and equine therapy, we share stories, recognize our Veterans’ service, and show the incredible impact horses can have on people’s lives. It’s a special event that reminds us why we believe horses make us better human beings.
