The Squad

Meet "The Squad": our unofficial ambassadors of chaos, camaraderie, and community! 🇺🇸 We figured it was time you met The Squad before they accidentally break something. They’re here to represent the pillars of Riverbend Patriots, but they usually spend most of their time arguing about who has the best coffee recipe. ☕️ 🔴 Brick: Stronger than a brick wall, but has a soft spot for shelter kittens. (Case Management) 🟢 Sarge: Claims to have seen it all, mostly through his eyelids during tactical naps. (Leadership) 🟣 Jane: The glue holding everyone together, usually with heavy-duty duct tape. (Community Connection) 🟡 Bob: Has more energy than a golden retriever on a caffeine bender. (Support) ⚫ Doc: Can fix a broken arm with a dad joke and a band-aid. (Wellness) 🌺 Chief: 100% Hawaiian shirt, 0% stress, 110% sunglasses. (Relaxation) 🔵 Top: Retired DI. If you're 5 minutes early, you're 10 minutes late. (Resilience/Discipline) They’re here to help us highlight our mission: from wellness to advocacy: one laugh at a time. Join the fellowship over at the Riverbend Patriots Connect web app! 🔗 https://riverbend-patriots-connect.base44.app/ #RiverbendPatriots #TheSquad #NotRealStaff #JustRealRelatable #Veterans #FirstResponders #CommunityStrong

"15 miles? Is there a shuttle or...?" - Chief, probably. 🌺🏃💨 The Squad is hitting the trail for their first 15-mile ruck, and the morale is high (mostly because Bob brought extra snacks). 🍩 At Riverbend Patriots, our Warrior Wellness programs are all about building resilience, and sometimes that looks like walking 15 miles just to see if Sarge can still keep up without his afternoon nap. It’s about not walking alone: even if your battle buddy is complaining about their "new" boots the whole way. 👣 Want to join a community that takes its mission seriously but its jokes lightly?

Let’s build resilience and hit some strikes together! 🇺🇸✨

The heat is on! Sarge and Top fire up the grill for some real talk about the Major Richard Star Act. They break down the "wounded veteran tax" and why it’s time to spring into action and let elected officials know where the community stands. 🎖️

The Mystery Donation "A Heavy Lift for a Light Joke" Logistics is usually Sarge’s specialty, but Brick took lead on this "special delivery." When Jane announces a massive new donation at the pantry, the team expects the usual—canned goods, pallets of water, or in Bob’s optimistic world, a lifetime supply of chocolate chip cookies. Instead, Brick proves that while he can carry the weight of a giant wooden crate, his sense of humor is a little... empty. Moral of the story: If you're going to prank the Squad, make sure Doc isn't there to provide a clinical analysis of your failure—and never, ever get between Bob and his snacks.
