On October 15, 2026, A Warriors Table had the privilege of visiting Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas, to serve a BBQ meal to returning members of the 7th Bomb Wing.

This meal was made possible through the sponsorship of Colonel Robert Sturgill, Commander of the 7th Bomb Wing. We are grateful to Colonel Sturgill for making this opportunity possible and for allowing A Warriors Table to show our appreciation to the men and women who serve our country.

The turnout was outstanding, with a large number of Dyess personnel taking time to enjoy a meal with their fellow Airmen. It was exactly the kind of gathering A Warriors Table hopes to create: an opportunity to step away from the demands of military service, enjoy some good food, and recognize the sacrifices made by those who serve.

The weather cooperated beautifully for most of the day, providing perfect conditions for an outdoor BBQ. As the afternoon progressed, a cold front moved through, bringing a reminder that fall had arrived in West Texas. Fortunately, we had already enjoyed a wonderful day of serving those who serve us.

As always, our team was honored to be welcomed to another military installation and given the opportunity to serve the members of the 7th Bomb Wing. These meals are about more than BBQ. They are our way of saying thank you and welcome home to the men and women who give so much in service to our country.

To Colonel Sturgill and everyone at Dyess Air Force Base, thank you for allowing A Warriors Table to be part of your day. It was our honor to serve you!
