ROCKWALL, TX (Jan. 14, 2026) — Operation Forward, a newly launched community initiative based in Rockwall, TX, is now accepting nominations for a deserving veteran in need. Designed as an annual legacy program, Operation Forward is built to create lasting impact through structured, long-term support and forward momentum.

Each year, one veteran will be selected to receive life-changing assistance intended to create measurable, sustainable improvement.
Operation Forward was founded by Stavros Kaplaneris, with the mission of moving beyond words and creating real, lasting impact through community-driven action.
Nominations Now Open
Nominations officially opened January 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM and will be accepted through March 1, 2026.
