With Gratitude
As the leaves turn and the season of gratitude arrives, our November issue is one that holds deep meaning and reflection. This month, we dedicate our pages to honoring the brave men and women who have served our country, and the families who have supported them along the way. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we pause to recognize not only the freedoms we enjoy, but also the incredible individuals who’ve made them possible—our Veterans.
In this special issue, you’ll find stories that go beyond uniforms and medals. We highlight local nonprofit organizations dedicated to supporting Veterans as they transition back into civilian life—whether through housing, mental health support, or career development. Their work is a reminder that honoring Veterans isn’t just something we do once a year, but a continuous commitment as a community.
We also shine a light on businesses that are Veteran-owned or go out of their way to hire and support those who have served. Their stories are a powerful blend of entrepreneurship, resilience, and purpose—proof that service to others doesn’t end when military service does.
One feature we’re especially proud to share is on our local school’s ROTC program. These young leaders are already demonstrating the values of discipline, integrity, and dedication. They are tomorrow’s protectors, peacemakers, and changemakers—and they give us every reason to be hopeful for the future.
This issue is a celebration of service, sacrifice, and the power of community. As you gather with loved ones this Thanksgiving, we hope the stories within these pages inspire you to express your gratitude, not just in words, but in action— whether it’s supporting a Veteran-owned business, volunteering with a local nonprofit, or simply offering a heartfelt “thank you” to someone who’s served.
From all of us at The Burns Team City Lifestyle, we’re thankful for you—our readers, our partners, and especially our Veterans.
With gratitude,
November 2025

WHERE NEIGHBORS CAN SEE AND BE SEEN
1 - 7: The 8th Annual Cross Timbers Rotary Duck Derby splashed into action in Flower Mound with more than 30,000 bright yellow rubber ducks racing along the scenic river course. Hosted by Cross Timbers Rotary, the family-friendly event drew crowds to enjoy live music, food trucks, children’s activities, and vendor booths, while raising funds for over 25 Denton County nonprofit organizations. At the heart of the day was the much-anticipated “Duck Drop,” where participants who adopted ducks had the chance to win prizes for the first ten ducks to cross the finish line. Proceeds from duck adoptions continue to support a wide range of community causes, making the Derby a highlight of local philanthropy and festivity.

with YOU
The holidays have a way of calling us back to what matters most—faith, family, compassion, and the quiet but powerful act of giving. As lights go up and calendars fill, there are still many who sit in silence, carrying burdens too heavy to bear alone. But what if this season, you could be the spark that changes everything for someone else?
The founders of City Lifestyle, through their private foundation, are once again launching its annual Christmas Giving Campaign—a heartfelt effort to seek out and support individuals and families who have quietly fallen through the cracks. The mission is simple: to bring light, dignity, and hope to those who need it most.
Since its beginning just four years ago, this initiative has grown from a humble idea into a life-changing movement. Last Christmas alone, more than 200 families across the country received unexpected support—financial relief, but also something even more powerful.
“We don’t just send checks,” says Steven Schowengerdt, CEO and founder of City Lifestyle. “We send a message: You are seen. You are loved. And you are not forgotten.”
Together with City Lifestyle President Matthew Perry, Steven has helped shape this into a tradition that goes far beyond charity. “This is about community,” Matthew adds. “We believe we’ve been blessed, so now we get to be a blessing.”
Every story begins with a nomination. Often, it’s a neighbor, coworker, friend, or teacher—someone who’s been quietly carrying too much for too long. One past recipient, after receiving unexpected support during a time of deep personal struggle, wrote:
SCAN TO NOMINATE
“We send a message: You are seen. You are loved. And you are not forgotten.”
“Beyond the very practical solution of receiving funds to fix my car, this thing you guys worked together to do is bigger than that. I carry the Christmas card you sent in my purse. When things get really hard, I pull it out and remember what it felt like to be seen. That card represents hope— that change for the better is possible. I’m not sure how many people get to carry hope around in their purse. But I do.”
Another wrote in after her husband was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer and unable to work:
“This support has blessed our family not only financially, but emotionally and spiritually as we trust God to meet our needs throughout this difficult time. Thank you to our anonymous friend and to your foundation. What a joy and gift to be part of God’s family!”
Each year brings countless stories like these—real lives touched by simple acts of kindness. Some use the funds to pay overdue bills, others to afford groceries, medication, or repairs. But no matter the circumstance, the impact is the same: hope is restored.
This season, you have the opportunity to be part of that. The campaign is now open to nominations—completely confidential and prayerfully considered. Whether it’s someone battling illness, facing unemployment, or just in need of a helping hand, you can bring them a moment of grace that will ripple far beyond Christmas morning.
“Knowing my mom was chosen filled my heart with indescribable joy,” said another past recipient. “Your generosity doesn’t just brighten her life; it inspires hope and faith in all of us. It enables her to stay in her home and get back on her feet.”
Nominations are open from November 1st to December 5th, 2025. To submit someone you know, simply scan the QR code or visit @CityLifestyle on Instagram, where you’ll find the nomination form in the bio.
This holiday season, let’s give more than gifts. Let’s give each other the gift of being seen. Because sometimes, the smallest gesture becomes someone’s greatest miracle.

SERVING THOSE WHO SERVED
LOCAL NONPROFITS THAT SUPPORT VETERANS IN THE COMMUNITY
Whether it’s struggling to find a job, trouble navigating relationships, difficulty adjusting to a new routine and culture, access to housing and healthcare, or facing mental health issues alone, Veterans returning from service need support from everyone who can help. While government programs offer some assistance, it can be confusing and difficult to access. Thankfully, there are nonprofits set up that understand these challenges and fill in the critical gaps to make a profound difference in Veterans’ daily lives. By offering creative outlets, connection and community, financial support, and various other resources, these four local nonprofits aim to ensure no Veteran is left behind.
“Each session is guided by an artist, mental health professional, and Military Veteran Peer to support the creative process.”
CREATIVE HEALING
In a small building a few blocks south of the Denton Square sits an art studio with a blue door that opens for everyone. Here, the creative process is not practiced for financial gain, but used for healing. The Art Room is a nonprofit studio that provides a “safe, creative, and educational space” to those struggling with mental health issues to explore their emotions through creation. Those who walk through that door enter a fully stocked studio equipped with guidance and support from volunteer artists and mental health professionals. Those who wish to create are given open studio time and encouraged to explore their own thoughts and emotions through expressive art.
Starting in 2024, the Art Room opened its door to a new program coined “Art for Veterans”. Veterans who are interested can attend an open studio session or a structured art class format on the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Wednesdays of each month from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Each session is guided by an artist, mental health professional, and Military Veteran Peer to support the creative process. The establishment’s space may not seem large, but the impact the nonprofit has had on the community is immense, promoting resilience and learning through art to those who served.
“The MVPN sets up small social outings for families to attend and bond with those with shared experiences.”
PEER SUPPORT
Transitioning from military service to civilian life can be a challenge, and no organization understands that challenge better than the Military Veteran Peer Network. This nonprofit aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for Veterans and their families to connect. The program’s intention is to build trust and community for those in difficult situations after service by relating to others who understand it best. The organization connects those who seek camaraderie and grows these relationships through various events and resources.
Peer-to-peer support is offered to both Veterans and their spouses and can be arranged online. The MVPN sets up small social outings for families to attend and bond with those with shared experiences. On top of that, the nonprofit hosts larger events such as “Vet-togethers” by providing Holiday meals for Veterans and families to come together. By sponsoring outdoor outings like fishing trips and camping for peer groups, as well as offering an eightweek horseback riding course, Veterans are encouraged to deeply connect with their community. For those who aren’t veterans but are interested in helping, you can volunteer in the MVPN’s IMPACT program that provides assistance to veterans who need help with home repairs, moving, and other similar tasks.
“The organization’s mission and vision are to honor Veterans by upholding the nation’s commitment to supporting them after service by networking and partnering with others.”
COLLABORATING FOR CHANGE
Finding resources for help isn’t always straightforward for Veterans, so the Denton County Veterans Coalition (DCVC) aims to change that by facilitating “collaboration among Veteran organizations and community resources to resolve individual and collective Veteran issues.” By leading this collaboration, the DCVC is a national model for an integrated system of Veteran Services. The DCVC is a one-stop shop for Veterans to find what they need. The organization’s mission and vision are to honor Veterans by upholding the nation’s commitment to supporting them after service by networking and partnering with others.
The board at the DCVC offers support in a few ways. The DCVC has advocated for local veterans by working with several Congressmen and the VA to create a Behavioral Health Care Annex in Denton to offer mental health services to Veterans. Though it was shut down during the pandemic, the board continues to push for more local access to Veterans who are unable to make it to the center in Dallas. The nonprofit also hosts an annual Homeless Veteran Stand Down event to give relief to at-risk, poor, and homeless Veterans by setting up booths that provide free clothes and shoes, serve free food, and offer resources to those in need.
“Cowtown Warriors was founded in 2013 to serve and honor those Veterans by doing what’s possible for those with disabilities to live a happier and more productive life.”
HONORING HEROES
Returning to civilian life after serving can be challenging on its own, but to those who return wounded or disabled, the obstacles are even harder to overcome. Understanding these barriers, the Cowtown Warriors was founded in 2013 to serve and honor those Veterans by doing what’s possible for those with disabilities to live a happier and more productive life. By hosting an annual ball, skeet shooting fundraiser, multiple charity golf tournaments, and other fun events, the Cowtown Warriors have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for disabled and wounded Veterans around DFW and give back 100% of the profit.
Because of the Cowtown Warriors, Patrick Myer built a fully wheel-chair accessible motorcycle shop in his back yard, Jason Lilley received $13,000 to pay off medical bills, Dario Heritage got a new air conditioning system, Bill Hudson’s house gained a walk-in shower to accommodate his needs, Luke Doty was able to purchase a brand new truck after his was totaled, and various other Veterans received support in other ways thanks to the fundraising gathered by the organization. No matter the circumstance, the Cowtown Warriors will find a way to enrich the lives of those who need it most after service.

Building Leaders at Lewisville High School
For many, ROTC programs are a bit of a mystery. Is it military-specific training, or something more? Retired Marine and Naval ROTC instructor at Lewisville High School, Jason Gold, provides insight into what the program offers students and why it’s one of the school’s most impactful opportunities.
FOR READERS WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR, WHAT IS JROTC ALL ABOUT?
JROTC is really a citizenship development program; there is no requirement to enter into the military at the junior level. While it has a military flavor with uniforms, rank structure, and drill teams, its primary purpose is to teach responsibility, discipline, time management, and study habits. These are lifelong skills that benefit students in whatever career they choose.
WHAT KINDS OF ACTIVITIES DO YOUNG CADETS PARTICIPATE IN?
We have a wide range of teams and events. Students compete in armed and unarmed drill teams, perform color guard at football games and parades, and even take part in robotics, cyber defense, and academic competitions. We also heavily emphasize community service. From playing a large role in local Veterans Day celebrations and city cleanups, working with feeder schools and retirement communities, we want to ensure students are well acquainted with their community.
WHAT CORE VALUES DO STUDENTS TAKE AWAY FROM BEING INVOLVED IN JROTC?
Cadets develop a sense of pride from the uniform and the ribbons and medals they earn. Over four years, you can clearly see their growth and pride in what they accomplish.
“More than anything, JROTC gives students a safe space, a community, and the tools to become leaders in whatever future they choose.”
Additionally, there’s perseverance and confidence, because teenagers often think they can’t do something if it’s too hard, but in the program they take a hands-on approach. Everything we do is cadetled. Captain John Markley, my fellow instructor, and I guide them, but students plan and execute nearly everything. That responsibility gives them ownership and leadership experience few other high school programs can match.
WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE TO JROTC STUDENTS POST GRADUATION?
There’s a national ROTC scholarship that offers students a full ride with qualifying SAT and ACT test scores. If they do decide to join the military, oftentimes they come out of boot camp with a higher rank because they are so prepared.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE LOCAL PARENTS TO KNOW ABOUT JROTC PROGRAMS?
Our program welcomes everybody — athletes, band members, shy students, and everyone in between. We find a place for each of them. More than anything, JROTC gives students a safe space, a community, and the tools to become leaders in whatever future they choose.
RELAY for REMEMBRANCE
Since 2014, volunteers around Flower Mound have gathered to honor Veterans with their time and sweat. The Flower Mound Veteran's Day Relay Run provides Veterans, their families, and any willing and able-bodied residents with a touching way to honor Veterans: a roughly 32-mile relaystyle race carrying the American flag as their baton across town. Runners will carry the flag approximately one to two miles before passing it off to the next group. This year, more than 40 runners are expected to complete the course on Veterans Day, passing by Flower Mound’s elementary, middle, and high schools to be cheered on by staff and students.
The idea for the race started after former Flower Mound Mayor Tom Hayden spotted a resident running through town holding a flag. Now, the event is a celebration and act of remembrance for Veterans. Participants are selected by a committee with preference given to Veterans and those currently serving. All are invited to follow along for live updates on the Flower Mound Facebook page, cheering on in remembrance of those who served.
The relay will begin at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, November 11th. Runners will start at the Community Activity Center at 1200 Gerault Rd. The race will stop by all Flower Mound schools, the police department, Fire Station 1 and 3, Town Hall, and other locations, ending back at the Community Activity Center around 3 p.m.

Veteran of the Month: David Young
Finding Direction and Feeling Grateful in an Unexpected Place
Sometimes when we need direction, we plead, “Show me a sign!” For this army veteran, there was a literal sign that read “Join the army. Earn college money.” As a young man unclear of his future, David decided this was sound advice. So after visiting the recruiting office, an assurance of no outstanding warrants, and a perfect score on the aptitude test, he signed the dotted line and pledged to serve his country for two years plus training. Knowing that Noriega had just been removed from Panama, David predicted his time would be conflict-free and he could “get in and get out.”
However, exactly one year after he boarded a plane to basic training, this young soldier found himself on another flight, deployed to serve in Operation Desert Storm. Despite the tense environment, Private First Class Young shares that he was excited to use his training in a combat situation.
Trained with the artillery as a forward observer, PFC Young drove an armored vehicle alongside tanks. Because the artillery has such a long-distance capability, it is not possible to see where it lands. Therefore, PFC Young was the “eyes” of the artillery. Through this vision,

BY DAVID YOUNG
Young learned the value of working with a team and gained a new respect for our military’s strength. With his first grandchild arriving next year, he now personally understands the honor of having served his country to ensure freedoms for all future Americans.
PFC Young honored his commitment to his country and later completed his degree. Today he continues to fight injustice through his work in cybersecurity. “The army helped me grow up and reset. It gave me the opportunity to appreciate this country and what we have. And I am grateful each time I see a flag.”
DESERT HAIKU
Capture the ethereal beauty of the Texas desert with this captivating abstract painting, inspired by the unique landscape surrounding Marfa. The artwork features a harmonious blend of soft blues, warm creams, and vibrant red accents, evoking the serene yet dramatic essence of the region.
This piece is perfect for art enthusiasts seeking a modern and evocative representation of the American Southwest. It would be a striking addition to any home or office, sparking conversation and contemplation.
