How Veterans Stay Mentally and Physically Strong

25 Sep 2025

Description

When the uniform comes off, many veterans feel like they've lost their team. And with it, their purpose. Michael "Sully" Sullivan knows that feeling firsthand, having spent 30 years in Special Forces. But instead of fading into isolation, he stepped into a new mission with Team RWB, helping veterans reconnect, rebuild accountability, and strengthen their health. In this conversation, Sully shares how Team RWB brings veterans together around fitness, connection, and community. From cross-country flag relays to local meetups. Topics Discussed How Sully's Special Forces career led him to Team RWB's mission The story and impact of the Old Glory Relay How accountability and community crush isolation after service The connection between physical activity, health, and mental wellness How Team RWB helps veterans stay engaged through local chapters and the app Notable Quotes "It took a team to get the team across the country." "Your participation is helping out that person that you're seeing at these different events." "You join the team, you see yourself as like, not only taking care of yourself, but your participation is helping out that person." "There's just so much power, I think, in the veteran population." "The idea is that we're always there for you to come back."
