Vets, Bros & Heroes: Launching Hope Through Airsoft

Help Launch Vets, Bros, and Heroes — A Mission-Driven Airsoft Company Supporting Veterans


Hi, my name is Patrick. I’m a disabled veteran, a father, and the founder of a dream-in-the-making: Vets, Bros, and Heroes — a veteran-led airsoft company with a powerful mission.
Airsoft has become more than just a hobby for me. It’s a way to bond with my son, reconnect with my brothers and sisters in service, and rediscover purpose through teamwork, adrenaline, and laughter. I’ve built a team of veterans, first responders, and close friends who share this passion — and we’ve seen firsthand how this sport can be a lifeline for those battling isolation, PTSD, and the invisible wounds of service.
But here’s the truth: many veterans simply can’t afford to participate. Gear, travel, and event costs add up fast — and for someone struggling to get by, it’s just out of reach.
That’s where Vets, Bros, and Heroes comes in.
Our Mission:
To create a veteran-powered company that:
• Builds and sells high-quality airsoft gear — often made by veterans, for veterans
• Partners with veteran-owned brands to amplify their work
• Sponsors airsoft events and provides free tickets, gear, and travel support for veterans who’ve never experienced the sport
• Builds a community where veterans can heal, connect, and thrive — one BB at a time
How Your Donation Helps:
Your support will directly fund:
• Startup costs (manufacturing tools, advertising, product development)
• Veteran-made gear and hardware for our launch inventory
• Free tickets and travel stipends for veterans to attend their first airsoft events
• Partnerships with vendors to supply equipment for veteran participants
• Outreach to veteran organizations and mental health advocates
This isn’t just about launching a company. It’s about launching hope. It’s about giving veterans a chance to feel the rush of camaraderie again — to laugh, to compete, to heal.
If you’ve ever wondered how you could give back to those who’ve served, this is your chance. Every dollar helps us bring one more veteran into the fold. One more story of healing. One more life changed.
Thank you for believing in this mission. Thank you for standing with us.
— Patrick
Founder of Vets, Bros, and Heroes
