From August 14–17, 2025, about 20 Daniel Defense employees had the privilege of stepping away from our day-to-day work to serve at Riverwood Christian Community in Louisville, Tennessee. Operated by Ability Ministry, Riverwood provides residential care for adults affected by disability and works to share the love of Christ with the disability community, their families, and loved ones. Over the course of several days, our team painted, cleaned, hauled, landscaped, and repaired, tackling everything from bedrooms and common areas to vans and outdoor spaces. These projects weren’t just about checking off a list; they were about coming together to serve others with purpose and heart. At Daniel Defense, our motto is simple but powerful: Honor God. Defend Freedom. This trip gave us the opportunity to live that out in a tangible way, honoring God through service, compassion, and love, while defending the freedom of others to live with dignity, community, and care. We’re grateful for the time at Riverwood, for the impact made, and for the chance to support Ability Ministry’s incredible mission.

Big news: we’re changing our logo and who we are! Just kidding. Some things should never change. Not our grit. Not our values. That’s what makes us who we are. The tradition. The pride. The legacy. That’s what connects generations. What’s a tradition or legacy in your life you’re glad hasn’t changed? Trends fade. Heritage lasts. Some things are meant to stay the same. DD is built for life. Guaranteed.

What if product training felt more like a once-in-a-lifetime experience? That’s exactly what we’ve built with Daniel Defense University (DDU). Several times a year, we bring in retailers and dealer staff from across the country to our HQ in Black Creek, GA for a fully immersive, hands-on training experience. Over three packed days, attendees get: • A deep dive into our full product lineup • Sales training built to boost confidence on the showroom floor • A tour of our manufacturing facility • An exclusive look at future products in the pipeline • And a full day on the range, shooting nearly everything we make, from the H9 to the Delta 5 Pro at 500+ yards But DDU is about more than specs and trigger time. It’s about building real relationships with the people behind the product, and walking away as a true Daniel Defense brand ambassador. We’re proud of this program. And we’re even prouder of the retailers who graduate and go back to their stores ready to lead with confidence.
