Some people talk about helping. Others just show up and get it done.
That’s who Kimberly and Dakota Moyers are. Both U.S. Navy veterans. Both selfless servants. When devastating floods tore through parts of Texas in July 2025, they didn’t wait for orders or headlines they packed their truck with supplies and drove straight into the disaster zone.
No cameras. No press releases. Just two Americans answering a call for help.
Through their work with Veterans for America First, they’re part of Vet Force, a team of veterans and first responders who drop everything when disaster strikes. And this time was no different.
Once they got to Texas, Kimberly turned VFW Post 8800 in Startzville into a full-scale disaster relief hub practically overnight. It wasn’t glamorous, but it worked. It became the only place in the area where people could consistently find what they needed: food, water, diapers, pet supplies seven trucks and three trailers worth of aid delivered by hand.
While others took photos, the Moyers rolled up their sleeves.
But that was just the beginning. As the floodwaters rose, they joined search and rescue teams based out of the Kerrville AG Barn. When people were missing, they went looking. When families needed hope or answers, they were there sometimes to reunite them with loved ones, sometimes to help carry the grief.
Still, they pressed on.
Kimberly put it best: “When Americans are in trouble, our veterans don’t ask questions they just show up.”
That’s exactly what she and Dakota did. Not for credit. Not for applause. Just because it needed to be done.
Even after the worst passed and most people packed up and left, the Moyers stayed. They kept organizing supply drops and coordinating volunteers doing whatever it took to help families rebuild. And when they weren’t delivering aid, they were lifting spirits.
Kimberly is also involved with Project Defiant, a grassroots group helping Texans push through tough times. Dakota is never far behind steady, dependable, and always ready to work. Together, they’re a force for good.
What makes Kimberly and Dakota special isn’t just their military background or their courage in a crisis. It’s their character. It’s the way they lead from the front, serve without being asked, and keep going long after the cameras are gone.
Why We Honor Them:
– They stepped in before FEMA arrived
– They led from the front lines, not the sidelines
– They helped run search and rescue operations in real time
– They stayed to help long after the headlines moved on
Kimberly and Dakota Moyers remind us what real heroism looks like. No spotlight. No ego. Just love of country, love of neighbor, and the kind of grit this country was built on.
We’re honored to name them our Veterans for America First Heroes of the Month.
