- ‘Make It Out Alive' by @warhippies is a powerful song that speaks directly to the devastating crisis of Veteran suicide, encouraging everyone, especially those who are fortunate enough to ‘make it out alive’, to live life for each day they're given.
“I wrote this song about a promise I made to God when I was in Iraq, that if I made it out alive, I was going to try to be the best man I could possibly be and one day the best father and husband,” says @ScooterBrownBand
“Our hope for this song is that it has a positive impact and makes a difference, provides hope and inspiration, and is a breath of fresh air for other veterans and the world at this moment in history,” @DonnieReis adds.
On Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who gave their lives for our freedoms. They will forever be in our hearts and prayers. #MemorialDay 🙏🏻🇺🇸
‘Make It Out Alive’ available now on all platforms.

July 3d 07' I was at FOB Echo in AL Diwaniyah, Iraq. We got the crap rocketed and mortered out of us for 3 hours straight. I can remember talking to God and telling him if I survived that I would build a pond next to my house and get some ducks and never leave. 3 weeks after I was discharged I started to put the pond in. I go to the VA hospital and the Feed store now. Don't know if it's my best life, but it's a good one.
Never forget that there’s some of us that still get choked up thinking of the sacrifices of the warriors like you, as well as the ones who didn’t make it back
🫡 🇺🇸
As long as you’re enjoying that life. You earned it and I thank you God bless you, sir.
Philadelphia checking in. Thank you for your service Sarge. You are living your best life!! Because you are alive. Keep on keepin on.
Proud of ya Sarge, I'm busting my ass to get my "ducks". Glad you found your place... Echo was a bitch, rockets always a possibility; Echo took a friend of mine, William VanOsdol.... he was an awesome youngman with talent coming out of his ears. I'll never forget him. Congratulations brother, never give up your peace.

My father had amazing grace played on bagpipes at his funeral , 21 gun salute as well . he was a nam vet came home with 2 purple hearts a silver and bronze star and left a part of himself in those jungles. He never missed a trip to the wall on the anniversary of his return to the states. It was the only time I ever saw him cry .
the emotion in his face about killed me

Made me cry 😢
Tears. Chills. Love this! Thank you for what you are doing to honor all those who have sacrificed for our freedoms. Thank you Donnie and Scott!
Love you brothers.
I remember them playing Toby Keith's "Red White and Blue" every night before we went to sleep in basic training, 2002. Turned 21 in Iraq. 21 total years of service...and I still hope to figure everything out someday soon.
First of all, thank you for your Service to our country. I am the host of the Brushpile Fishing show, and every year in Ohio we put on a Veteran's fishing tournament. For the past 4 years, we have donated to the Travis Mills Foundation. This year we will partner with the National Veteran and Memorial Museum in Columbus. Proceeds will go to Face the Fight, dealing with Veteran suicide. This is your personal invite to this event! Great song, God Bless
I made it out alive I want to back so I can stand with my fellow Marines and all my brothers in arms.
Raaah...they'll never understand brother.... they think they do....but they dont..my little newphew asked the forbidden question yesterday "unk u ever kill any one "..I looked at him ..looked at the deck...looked back at him and said.."I made it home didn't i..." yes unk...and I just walked away..
Let me start by thanking you both for your service. I thank God you made it out alive because the message you just related can make a huge difference in many soldiers that still dont know what to do after they come home. Its also a wake up call to the civilians that do not appreciate your sacrifice for there freedom. Thank you, God Bless and God speed.
This is a new breed of combat veteran, and a new embrace of them. Prior generations of veterans didn’t share this optimism and welcome. I’m glad I belong to this new cohort, and that I made it out alive. I relish the chance to humbly and openly share my experiences, if only to talk to myself, or, better yet, change someone’s mind. Either way I’ll just keep moving and taking it all in.
Thanks for your service
Love it! Thank you for your service & inspiration!
Godspeed Patriots!

Good Luck on your journey to the top! You will make it because you already have your priorities straight GOD, family, country & then job! God bless your band!
😭❤️❤️❤️ got me and my hubs choked up. He's a combat vet
Great song 🙏🇺🇲God bless yall
Was never in Combat,...., but I had the privilege seeing what COMBAT does to the Human vessel, (71G) ,..., youth squandered by those that would never risk their own. I saw so much , ENOUGH to know I was a blessed Male, and after the Army, a path was waiting for me to get back on it.
So many soldiers, combat vets and those that supported them in the military, Supply, Medical, Administration, ...., we all that "made it out" in our own ways were changed, pray for the ones who did not find that path waiting for them,..., I see it all day long at the base and VA hospital, everyone should walk the halls of a VA hospital for a day,...
one of my favorite "less heard of" bands. They do not have to imagine what they sing about. Bless the Soldier.
God Bless our Vets and The USA
God bless America
The Veteran community is incredibly. The more important issue is for Americans to keep our "representatives" in line for the American public over corporate interests and the super rich that keep manipulating financial markets. The veteran community are people that volunteer to better themselves and train to defend America. It's our duty at home to make sure it's for the right reasons.
Wow got me all emotional and i didn't even serve but have alot of family that did thank you for your service and God bless you and your families
God bless you southern man.
I cannot wait to see y'all tomorrow!!!!
Love you brother
Loved meeting these guys at the PPL center!
