Wrangler National Patriot Tour 2015

Written by

To honor tradition, champion cowboys and cowgirls of the United States traveled overseas this memorial holiday to honor our active service members as part of the Wrangler National Patriot Tour.

Among others on the trip: Kaycee Feild, Brittney Truman (Miss Rodeo Arizona 2013), Maegan Ridley Hollander (Miss Rodeo America), Lucas Hoge, and Jeff Chadwick took time out of their busy schedules to visit an undisclosed location in the Middle East to support and entertain our troops.

Brittney Truman, Maegan Ridley Hollander, and US troops.

Wrangler founded this program in 2009, this is a year-round program developed to raise funds, support American military, veterans and their families.
This program serves as inspiration for Americans to unify behind our troops in patriotism.

American300 Tours are focused on placing valued individuals with Troops all over the world.

These individuals spend quality time with Service Members, offering not only their personal stories, but a knowing ear and shoulder heavy in experience.

“There’s a lot of grip and rip one hit programming going on… American300 tours create long term relationships focused on being the best we can all be in duty to our country, families and friends.”
-Rob powers, Veteran and founder of American 300.

The result: soldiers grew from the exchanges in a positive, productive manner, developing a sense of hope and understanding.

Patrick OD O'Donnell

The moment a bull's gate swings open—that's when Patrick "OD" O'Donnell feels most alive. From his early days riding bareback through Arizona pastures to revolutionizing the bull riding industry as President of Bull Riders Only, OD has lived the Western lifestyle he now champions as Founder of Cowboy Lifestyle Network. Growing up in Casa Grande's sunbaked agricultural heartland, he didn't just learn about horses and ranching, he lived it daily, developing the instincts and grit that would later attract 4 million followers to CLN's authentic voice. After his baseball days at the University of Arizona, OD saw something others missed: bull riding wasn't just a sport, but was compelling entertainment waiting for the right vision. Between 1990-1997, his leadership transformed local rodeo competitions into sold-out arena events that changed Western sports forever. Today, that same pioneering spirit drives CLN's coverage of everything from championship rodeos to the quiet heroism of ranch life. When he's not building the digital home for cowboy culture, you'll find OD supporting Harris Brothers Charity Foundation, leading CLN’s 25-year Christmas Toy Drive for Arizona kids, or sharing his love of horsemanship with special needs riders through Arizona's own Horses Help. Living proof that authentic Western values still have the power to transform lives.
