Veteran-founded publishing house dedicated to preserving the stories that shaped generations, and supporting the people who carry them.
CactiRon Publishing was born from firsthand experience. The kind you don't read about in press releases. We know what it's like when the system fails. When stories get buried under paperwork, red tape, and silence.
We exist to change that. Through interviews, memoirs, and books built for the veteran community, we give voice to the stories that matter most and create resources for the families and caregivers who stand beside them.
CactiRon Publishing is built around the example of Ron Ray, a Combat Infantryman with the "Cacti" Soldiers of 1st Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, from July 1966 to July 1967. Ron started on the radio as an RTO, worked his way up to Walking Point, and earned his place as a Recon Platoon Squad Leader. He represents the kind of loyalty and steadiness this company was built to carry forward.
This brand is not built on image. It is built on memory, brotherhood, and the duty to make sure important stories are never lost.
Through books and practical resources, CactiRon Publishing serves veterans, caregivers, families, and the people who keep showing up long after the uniform comes off. The ones still carrying it at home.

Coming SoonEvery veteran carries a story. Some are about service. Some are about coming home. Some are about the fight that started long after the uniform came off. Whatever yours is, we want to hear it.
CactiRon conducts interviews with veterans and works with you to shape your story into something that lasts. On your terms. In your words.
These are the men Ron served with who gave everything. Their names are on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. We remember them here so their stories are never lost.
