About the Founder
“My life is useless to me if it is not useful to somebody else.”
A life built around service.
Jonah Okebulu is a U.S. Army veteran, author, minister, counseling psychology professional, and strategic leadership scholar. From childhood, service has been more than something he does—it has been the organizing principle of his life.
During his Army service as a wheeled-vehicle mechanic and recovery specialist, including an operational deployment to Lithuania and base-defense operations in Poland, Jonah became known not only for mission performance but for the trust soldiers placed in him.
That trust became action. Jonah created the Talk Team, a bridge to behavioral-health and chaplain services, and established T3: Taurus Table Talk during deployment for honest conversations about mental health, pressure, and life away from home.
The Praying Soldier
Daily encouragement, After PT Prayers, spiritual counseling, and hope for soldiers and supporters.
Talk Team
A trusted bridge connecting soldiers with professional and chaplain care before isolation became crisis.
T3: Taurus Table Talk
A soldier-centered conversation space for candid dialogue about resilience and shared experience.
Practical Care
From 100 free football tickets for soldiers and families to resources that personalize Army Values.
Prepared to serve the whole person.
Jonah holds a bachelor’s degree in Counseling Psychology and a Master of Divinity in Christian Leadership and Ministry, and is pursuing a Doctorate in Strategic Leadership. His service has been recognized with the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal, and additional honors.
Why Salute Yourself Initiative exists.
To ensure service members feel seen, supported, and strengthened in practical ways—restoring time, protecting dignity, strengthening readiness, and reminding people that their lives matter.
