GROWTH + RECONSTRUCTION

At LifeGR, we don’t do red tape—we do results.
Since 2017, we’ve served over 3,000 veterans through trauma counseling, crisis response, and now—search and rescue. When a veteran goes missing, we act. We find them. We bring them home or into rehab. Our mission is clear and urgent: No Veteran Left Behind.

Welcome to LifeGR
Honoring Those Who Served

OUR STORY

Founded by Army veteran Jesse Johnson-Brower and his wife Tara, LifeGR began as a boots-on-the-ground response to the silent war of PTSD. What started as counseling for struggling veterans has grown into a nationwide mission to find and recover those who’ve gone missing or lost their way.

OUR MISSION

We exist to take action—when others stall, we move. From trauma recovery to search and rescue, LifeGR delivers real solutions without the red tape. Every mission is personal. Every veteran matters.

No Veteran Left Behind

This isn’t a slogan—it’s a promise. Whether it’s a call in the middle of the night or a months-long search, we go. We bring them home, into rehab, or back to hope. Because leaving one behind isn’t an option.

Founder’s Story
HOW JESSE BEAT THE ODDS

LifeGR was born from firsthand experience, unwavering purpose, and a refusal to let our nation’s heroes be forgotten.

Jesse Johnson-Brower, an Army veteran and 9/11 first responder at the Pentagon, was part of the very first unit to respond to the attacks—a member of the Forgotten Band of Brothers who ran toward the chaos when the world stood still. After his service, Jesse faced his own battles with trauma, loss, and a system that too often fails those who served.

Alongside his wife Tara, Jesse launched LifeGR in 2017 to fight for veterans others had left behind. Since then, they have served over 3,000 veterans through PTSD counseling, crisis response, and recovery support. What began as a counseling mission has grown into a national search and rescue operation—locating and recovering missing veterans, and bringing them home or into rehab.

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, in 2021, Jesse became the first person in history to complete a 487-mile memorial walk—starting at Ground Zero in New York City, passing through six states, to the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and ending at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The silent journey honored those lost on 9/11 and those still silently suffering. It was a living tribute—and a bold reminder that no veteran should ever feel invisible.

Together, Jesse and Tara have built LifeGR into a force for action, recovery, and hope. Because for them, No Veteran Left Behind is not a motto. It’s a vow.

Jesse’s Memorial Walk: Honoring the Fallen

A Walk For The Heroes of 9/11

In a powerful tribute on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Jesse Johnson-Brower—Army veteran, 9/11 first responder, and member of the Forgotten Band of Brothers—embarked on a historic 487-mile memorial walk. Starting at Ground Zero in New York City, passing through six states, and ending at the Pentagon, the journey honored those lost in the attacks and those still silently battling the aftermath.

As a member of the first military unit to respond to the Pentagon on 9/11, this walk was far more than a physical challenge—it was a deeply personal mission. Every step served as a reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and resilience that define those who serve. Jesse’s walk brought national attention to the unseen struggles veterans face and reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to making sure no service member is ever forgotten.
