At StateDefenseForce.com, we believe our community should have a direct role in shaping the future of our content, products, and programs. While some opportunities are exclusive to our Sergeant Major, Colonel, and General Patreon Tiers, you don’t need to be a high-tier member to join the conversation. We make these posts available for just $3—the lowest Patreon will allow us to charge—so anyone can vote or add their thoughts.
This month, we have three exciting opportunities for you to influence what we create next:
1. Help Us Design the Next State Defense Force Gear
For August 2025, we want to know exactly what designs and merchandise you’d like to see in the State Defense Force Online Store (sdfonlinestore.com).
Whether it’s shirts, sweaters, license plate frames, vanity plates, or car sticker magnets, your ideas can become reality. Our talented graphic designers can bring your vision to life—just tell us:
- What type of product you’d like
- Which State Defense Force should be featured
- The style, colors, text, and graphic placement you have in mind
Your detailed feedback ensures we can design something unique and meaningful for our community.
2. Choose the Next Articles We Write
Our Sergeant Major, Colonel, and General Tiers also get the chance to decide what original articles we publish next. These are in-depth, well-researched pieces written by our StateDefenseForce.com staff—covering everything from historical operations to cutting-edge missions.
You can vote on a range of topics (see the full list in our post) or suggest something completely new in the comments. Your input will guide what our writers focus on in the coming months, making sure our editorial content reflects your priorities and interests.

3. Pick the Next Commanders Briefing Podcast Guest
We’ve just released an incredible interview with Major General Roger O. Sheridan, Commanding General of the Texas State Guard. Now, we want to know—who should we interview next?
Choose from our list of State Defense Force commanders (such as the Indiana Guard Reserve, South Carolina State Guard, Ohio State Defense Force, and more), or suggest your own choice under “Other.” Your pick could be the next voice featured in our nationally recognized podcast.
