IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In recognition of Veterans Day, U.S. Veterans Magazine has released its November 2026 issue, featuring the annual 2026 Top Veteran Schools recognition, stories of veterans building careers in professional sports and an exclusive cover feature with Marine veteran Rudy Reyes.
The issue celebrates military service while highlighting the accomplishments, ambitions and contributions of veterans whose influence extends far beyond their time in uniform.
"Veterans Day is a time to recognize those who have served our country, but their contributions don't end when they take off the uniform," said Mona Lisa Faris, president and publisher of U.S. Veterans Magazine. "Whether they're pursuing a degree, building a business or finding success in an entirely new field, veterans bring valuable experience and perspective to everything they do. We want to celebrate those achievements while connecting our readers with the resources that help them succeed."
Recognizing the 2026 Top Veteran Schools
For veterans and military-connected students, the right school offers more than a quality education. It recognizes their experiences, values their military training and provides the support they need to succeed.
U.S. Veterans Magazine's annual Top Veteran Schools recognition highlights institutions committed to helping veterans, service members and military-connected students pursue their educational goals through supportive campus environments, academic resources and programs designed with their needs in mind.
This year's recognized institutions include Ashland University; Campbell University; Utah Valley University; Front Range Community College; St. Joseph's University, New York; San Francisco Film School; Tarleton State University; and the University of Illinois.
Veterans in Sports
The connection between military service and professional sports goes well beyond the playing field. The November issue introduces readers to veterans who have built careers in competitive athletics and sports leadership, drawing on their military experiences as they navigate new professional roles.
Navy veteran and NASCAR driver Jesse Iwuji has established himself in motorsports, bringing an uncommon background to one of America's most competitive racing environments. Army veteran Steve Johnson has built a career with the Houston Texans, demonstrating how military experience can translate into leadership within a professional sports organization.
Rudy Reyes: The Warrior Mindset
Marine veteran, actor and television personality Rudy Reyes takes center stage on the November cover, sharing a personal account of the experiences that have shaped his life during and after military service.
In The Warrior Mindset, Reyes reflects on his military background, personal growth and the challenges of building an identity beyond the uniform. His story offers a candid perspective on resilience, self-discovery and what it means to carry a warrior's mindset into a new chapter of life.
