Grunt Style and VFW Unite to 'Honor the Contract' with Limited-Edition T-Shirt Supporting Veteran Suicide Prevention
San Antonio, Texas, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Grunt Style, the iconic American apparel brand, is proud to announce a bold new limited-edition t-shirt that carries more than just style, it carries a legacy of veteran advocacy and a demand for accountability. The shirt's powerful message, 'Honor The Contract,' revives a historic call to action inspired by the Bonus Army of the 1930s and channels it into modern-day support for veterans facing mental health crises. The collaborative design is a modern reimagining of an archival VFW concept dating back to one of the most shameful chapters in American history, when veterans of World War I were denied their promised compensation and violently removed from the nation's capital for demanding justice. That movement came to be known as the Bonus Army, a somber reminder that America has not always lived up to its promises to those who serve. Today, nearly a century later, the battle continues, not on the battlefield, but within our own communities. Veterans are still petitioning the government for better care, timely benefits, and mental health support. And once again, the VFW is stepping forward, not just with words, but with action. 'This campaign isn't just about a shirt. It's about a promise, a contract, between the United States and its defenders,' said VFW Commander-in-Chief Al Lipphardt. 'Our nation must honor that sacred agreement, not just during service, but long after the uniform is folded. By resurrecting this historic design, we're reminding America that failure to care for its veterans is not just neglect, it's betrayal.' The VFW has committed to donating proceeds from this design directly to Irreverent Warriors, a program of the Grunt Style Foundation that uses humor, camaraderie, and shared experience to tackle the suicide epidemic within the veteran community. At the heart of this partnership is a shared belief in action over lip service and a mutual understanding that the fight for a veteran's life doesn't end at discharge. 'Grunt Style was founded by a veteran who believed in taking care of his own, and that belief hasn't changed,' said Tim Jensen, Chief Brand Officer of Grunt Style and Chairman of the Grunt Style Foundation. 'When the VFW brought us this design from their archives, it was like a lightning bolt. We knew this wasn't about nostalgia, it was about the now. Veterans are dying because the system meant to support them is broken. This shirt is our call to arms and our way of saying we won't be silent.' The design itself is striking, gritty, evocative, and unmistakably patriotic. Bold lettering and a weathered visual aesthetic recall wartime posters of the past, while the phrase 'Honor The Contract' punches with present-day urgency. The limited-edition shirt will be available exclusively through Grunt Style's website. A portion of proceeds will directly fund Grunt Style Foundation's work through Irreverent Warriors, whose mission is to bring veterans together in a safe, humorous, and healing environment through events like Silkies Hikes and community engagement. About Grunt Style: Founded by a combat veteran, Grunt Style is more than a t-shirt company, it's a lifestyle brand for those who still believe in the American spirit. With more than 5 million social followers and millions of loyal customers, Grunt Style is committed to serving those who serve. About the VFW: The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is the nation's largest and oldest war veterans service organization, tracing its roots back to 1899. With more than 1.5 million members, the VFW fights for veterans' rights and well-being on Capitol Hill and in communities across America. About Grunt Style Foundation: The Grunt Style Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to serving those who served, with programs focused on mental health, transition support, and combating veteran suicide. Its Irreverent Warriors initiative brings humor and connection to the frontlines of healing through unique events and community activism.

Warriors Heart and Grunt Style Bring Recovery Stories to Life with Healing Mural and Art Gallery
Warriors Heart and Grunt Style reveal public art display by military, veterans and first responders Memorial Day thru Veterans Day. 'This collaborative mural and artwork are a public testament to healing, purpose, and the strength it takes to come home from the battles within.'— Christina Moreno, Warriors Heart Texas Executive Director SAN ANTONIO, TX, UNITED STATES, May 20, 2025 / / -- Warriors Heart announces the Memorial Day weekend unveiling of a new healing mural titled, ' Service is a Lifestyle ' and 'Warriors HeArt Gallery' at the Grunt Style headquarters in downtown San Antonio, Texas. This public art display will be featured Memorial Day weekend through Veterans Day to shine a light on the often-unseen battles Warriors (military, veterans and first responders) face long after their service — and how creative expression becomes a path to healing for those struggling with addiction, PTSD and co-occurring issues. Warriors Heart Texas Executive Director Christina Moreno emphasizes, 'This collaborative mural and artwork are a public testament to healing, purpose, and the strength it takes to come home from the battles within.' Created by Warriors reclaiming their lives, the 'Warriors HeArt Gallery' invites the community to witness the transformation that happens when creativity becomes part of recovery. Many of the art pieces will feature QR codes linking to audio recordings of the Warriors' personal stories behind their creations — offering visitors a deeper, more intimate connection to the healing journeys represented in the gallery. The mural and more than 60 pieces of artwork were created by Warriors - many who have completed Warriors Heart's specialized 42-day inpatient treatment program - along with contributions from Warriors Heart staff. Each piece reflects a personal story of service, struggle, and recovery through art. Art therapy is an integral part of Warriors Heart's treatment, where clients work closely with the clinical team to use creative expression as a way to process emotions, confront trauma, and support their healing journey. The 'Service is a Lifestyle' mural and 'Warriors HeArt Gallery' represents the dedication of warriors to servicing their community. The helmets at the bottom represent the population Warriors Heart serves, which includes military, veterans and first responders. Creative Art Instructor Dan Monreal explains the overall theme of this mural and special exhibit, 'The idea is that service is a lifestyle. That is the theme of the art event that we'll be having all the way thrown through to November. The idea is strength, honor, and stability.' Monreal further clarifies the mural's American eagle theme, 'The design idea came from of a painting that was done a few years back by a client that came through our program. The American eagle seems to be one of those symbolic images that represent them and their strengths and their honor. So, we thought it was fitting to incorporate the American eagle into this storefront design, along with the paint brushes, the palette of color, tubes of paint that we normally always go through when we're painting something in the Warriors Heart Art studio.' Monreal adds, 'When warriors go through our program, we want them to go in and celebrate themselves in a way that they'll be able to carry the art idea with them back home, share it with friends, family members, strengthen their sobriety, and then just enjoy art because art is such a beautiful therapy.' To make a further positive impact on the community, the 'Warriors HeArt Gallery' artwork will also be available for auction towards the end of the exhibit. All proceeds will go to Irreverent Warriors ( ) and Warriors Heart ( ) to help more Warriors heal.
