Brandon Cabalar
President | Founder | Veteran Peer Support Leader
My name is Brandon, and I am a U.S. Army Combat Veteran with 12 years of service. The military leaves a lasting impact—shaping character, instilling discipline, and fostering a deep sense of brotherhood. However, many service members return home to an unexpected battle: PTSD, isolation, and emotional distress. Witnessing my fellow veterans—and experiencing firsthand—these battles with PTSD, isolation, and emotional distress compelled me to establish The Warfighters Mission.
Our mission is clear:
-No veteran should face the burdens of PTSD alone.
-Healing is found in connection, not isolation.
-Faith and a strong support system are critical in the recovery process.
This mission is deeply personal. I was fortunate to have my family stand by me and found strength in my faith. That support made all the difference, and I want every veteran to experience the same.
Luke 15:4-7 describes the good shepherd who seeks out the one lost sheep. The Warfighters Mission embraces this principle—actively reaching out to struggling veterans, providing unwavering support, and ensuring they know they are never alone.
If you are a veteran in need, we are here for you. If you want to support our cause, we welcome you to stand with us. Together, we can make a lasting impact in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much.
