About us

flag

Guard Puller is proudly veteran-owned and created for veterans and first responders who understand life under pressure. Founded by someone who has lived the transition from service to civilian life, Guard Puller exists to support those who continue to carry the weight after the mission ends. This community is built on discipline, resilience, and shared experience—where calm under pressure is learned, not claimed. Guard Puller stands with those who protect, serve, and sacrifice, offering connection, purpose, and belonging beyond the uniform.

Almost 22

Almost 22 exists to confront one of the hardest truths facing the veteran community: far too many lives are still being lost after the uniform comes off. The name represents progress—not a statistic to accept, but a number we are determined to drive to zero. Our mission is rooted in connection, purpose, and prevention. We believe the battle doesn’t end when service does, and no one should be expected to carry that weight alone. Almost 22 focuses on raising awareness, reducing stigma around mental health, and building spaces where veterans and first responders feel seen, understood, and supported. Through community, physical discipline, shared struggle, and honest conversation, we work to replace isolation with belonging. Healing does not come from silence—it comes from purpose, structure, and knowing you still matter. Almost 22 is about action, not awareness alone. One connection at a time. One life at a time.
