📣 Effective Immediately: BBRT TikTok Account Deleted

Effective immediately, the Battle Buddy Response Team® no longer has an official TikTok account. The account has been permanently deleted.

We want to thank every supporter who followed and encouraged our mission on that platform. Your support has meant the world.

We also want to acknowledge that Mr. Rock has, at times, acted out of anger. He has since sought help and is committed to personal growth and healing. As an organization, we are learning, growing, and taking accountability for all actions associated with our leadership.

We sincerely ask for your forgiveness and understanding. Our mission remains the same—serving veterans and their families with compassion, integrity, and urgency. We are dedicated to doing better and moving forward stronger.

Thank you for continuing to stand with us.

Battle Buddy Response Team® Marks 6 Years of Service – Over 100 Calls Answered Since April 25th

Published: June 2025

Since celebrating our 6th anniversary on April 25, 2025, the Battle Buddy Response Team® (BBRT) has responded to over 100 calls for help—each one representing a life touched, a family supported, and a veteran reminded that they are not alone.

In just the past few weeks, our dedicated team of volunteers has:

• Purchased a brand-new travel trailer for a veteran and their children fleeing domestic violence
• Supplied a new washer and dryer to a struggling veteran family
• Visited and comforted a hospitalized veteran in crisis
• Reconnected active military personnel with loved ones during an emergency
• Helped over 100 veterans nationwide, from Hawaii to Massachusetts, Texas to Florida, California, and many states in between

Our work continues to prove one thing: this organization is needed.

But to serve at the level our veterans deserve, we need to grow. BBRT is currently a volunteer-run organization—and while our hearts are full, our resources are limited. To expand our impact, we are actively seeking $25 million in grants to become fully operational in all 50 states with paid, full-time staff.

Our vision is clear: a fully staffed national response network that can intervene before another veteran is lost to suicide. Every call answered matters. Every veteran served is a life changed.

We thank our supporters, sponsors, and volunteers for believing in this mission—and we invite you to walk beside us. Join us on May 26, 2026, for our 4th Annual Ruck March and help make this our biggest year yet.

See our event page to register for just $22 and be part of something life-saving.

Together, we can end veteran suicide.

Battle Buddy Response Team® Turns 6 Today!

Today marks six incredible years since the Battle Buddy Response Team® was founded. What began as one veteran’s mission to stand in the gap for others has grown into a national movement—saving lives, restoring hope, and honoring the commitment we all made to never leave a brother or sister behind.

In these six years, BBRT has:

• Responded to thousands of calls from veterans and their families in crisis.
• Traveled coast to coast to provide boots-on-the-ground support—day or night.
• Built trusted partnerships with law enforcement and mental health agencies.
• Created a national network of volunteers and supporters committed to the mission.
• Laid the foundation for long-term impact through our vision to stop and prevent all veteran suicide.

We’re not just an organization—we’re a family, built on the promise that no one fights alone.

To every volunteer, supporter, sponsor, and veteran who has stood with us: thank you. Your belief in our mission fuels every mile we drive and every life we touch.

Here’s to the next chapter—bigger, bolder, and more united than ever.
