In Episode 447 of the Security Halt! Podcast, Deny Caballero sits down with Ruben Ayala, founder of Black Ops, to discuss a mission far bigger than a documentary.

Ruben shares the incredible journey of building Black Ops—from an idea sparked by one powerful moment into a national movement that includes a documentary series, an upcoming book, youth mentorship initiatives, and advocacy for greater recognition of overlooked heroes.

This conversation is about more than military history. It's about leadership, representation, legacy, and inspiring future generations to understand that excellence knows no race, ethnicity, or background.

In this Resource Monday episode of the Security Halt! Podcast, Deny Caballero spotlights Operation Tabletop, a veteran-led nonprofit founded by Seth Ewing that is tackling one of the biggest challenges facing the veteran community today—isolation.

Inspired by his own journey through grief after losing his brother, Seth discovered that tabletop gaming created opportunities for authentic conversations, friendship, and healing. Today, Operation Tabletop is bringing veterans, active-duty service members, and community members together through game nights that foster connection, belonging, and support.

As the organization expands beyond Northwest Florida and onto military installations across the country, every donation helps provide meals, tabletop games, and welcoming spaces where meaningful relationships can begin.
