We are proud to share a powerful anthem that represents the heart and soul of the ECHO Group Band of Brothers, while showing our communities photos of what we are doing!

The song, originally written and performed by Big B and The Felons Club, was inspired by his close-knit community of biker brothers—but its message resonates deeply with our mission to support our brothers & sisters, preventing suicide within our ranks.

Thanks to a meaningful connection between our organization, our VP Robert Raymond, and through the annual Live Fast Rally on the Central Coast of California, we met Big B. He is an amazing supporter of Veteran’s causes.

Big B’s song, released five years ago, speaks of brotherhood, loyalty, and facing life’s battles together—values that mirror what we stand for as Veterans. When we approached Big B about using the song as our official anthem, he graciously took the time to review the request and gave us his personal support.

It’s not every day that an artist offers such generosity, but Big B didn’t hesitate to stand with us. We’re honored to share this music with our community—and even more honored to have been welcomed into a circle of support from individuals like Big B, to include his posse of famous artists and friends, this has truly meant the world to us.

This song is more than music—it’s a reflection of who we are, where we have come from, and how we always keep moving forward - together. See his video below!

Our ECHO Group Mission

At ECHO Group Band of Brothers, our mission to prevent Veteran suicide and support military families goes far beyond our own programs—it’s rooted in the heart of our communities.

We believe that real impact starts at the local level, and that’s why our members actively participate in a wide range of community events, charity fundraisers, and volunteer efforts that bring people together for good.

Our Community Commitment Includes:

Supporting community Veterans through charity rides, off-road events, festival booths and fundraisers
Taking the helm in organizing clean-up efforts to preserve our beautiful environment, including worn US Flag changeouts.
Participating in major events like the Lake Havasu Boat Show in Arizona, The Live Fast Rally in California, and so many more
Showing up for local causes that make a difference—because our mission and our community go hand in hand

These events not only allow us to raise critical funds for our Veteran programs, but they also give us the opportunity to build relationships, inspire others, and give back to a community that supports us year-round.

Every mile we ride, every event we join, and every dollar we help raise brings us closer to ending Veteran suicide—and we couldn't do it without the people in our communities.

Our History

Founded by USMC Veteran Steven Baird of Santa Maria, CA, through his own journey in Veteran's Treatment Court, attempted suicide, and a long winding road of trial and error, back to health. Alongside his childhood friend, Navy Veteran Brian Williamson, ECHO Group Band of Brothers was born.

BY Veterans FOR Veterans. A grassroots effort to address the unique challenges faced by those who have served.

Over the years, we have expanded our reach offering many programs within the organization, to include multiple sports leagues, QRF teams for Veterans in crisis and support services for families of Veterans. All aimed at enhancing the quality of life for Veterans in our individual communities.

Our Veterans and families earn a one-of-a-kind jersey by playing sports, and then giving back to their community. Veterans wear Black/Gray, and can then earn a Red, White & Blue jersey. Families wear teal, for PTSD awareness and support.

Join us in our journey to make a meaningful impact for our brothers & sisters. Together, we can ECHO the values of service and sacrifice, ensuring no Veteran is ever left behind.

Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless service, Honor, Integrity, & Courage.

Together we ECHO our military core values.

Whether you're Active Duty, a Veteran, family member, supporter or a volunteer, there is a place for you in our mission.

Before ECHO Group found me, I felt like I was fighting my battles alone.

Now, I have a community of brothers & sisters that got my 6, and they remind me that my life has purpose. They didn't just support me - they saved me.
