Mission 22 #22ADAY

UPPERCUT CREATIONS wants to bring awareness that twenty-two veterans tragically take their own lives each day. This statistic came all too real when we lost Brenden Helwer after a long-fought battle with an enemy called PTSD, who passed away unexpectedly on Friday, September 6, 2024. Brenden was born on November 4, 1993, in Saginaw, MI, and graduated from Frankenmuth High School in 2012 where he was very involved in sports. After high school, he honorably served in the U.S. Marine Corps until 2016. He was passionate about riding motorcycles, especially with fellow Marine Corps Brothers, Leathernecks MC. Brenden was a passionate goofball with a quirky, fun sense of humor, who would do anything to help anyone.


We at Uppercut Creations want to continue to pass the torch in recognizing that we must come together to combat this crisis. Let's uplift our veterans by assuring them that hope is real, help is available, and recovery is possible. If you know a veteran in distress, don't wait—reach out to emergency services immediately.


Veteran Suicide Awareness

22 veterans commit suicide daily in the United States.

Veterans are at 57% higher risk of suicide than those who haven't served.

18" x 9-3/4" Tattered Flags with a purpose

  • 1. You can help with $65

    A portion of every purchase of our EXCLUSIVE Tattered Flag will go directly to supporting Mission22.com to help support to Veterans and their families when they need it most: right now. Mission22 takes a comprehensive approach with outreach, events, and programs, promoting long-term wellness and sustainable growth for our beloved veterans and their families.

  • 2. Each Tattered Flag is unique

    Nestled inside Old Glory in the traditional Blue and Red, there lies our Nation's Eagle flamed with a torch, giving it our unique "Blue Flamed" look. After flaming, each Tattered Flag is clear powder coated, giving it the durability to stand up to the test of time, whether proudly displayed indoors or out.

  • 3. Each unit comes with our exclusive hidden hardware mounting system

    Uppercut Creations honors our flag, and what it represents, which is why we created our very own hidden hardware for mounting so you won't see any nails or screws holding up the unit,  detracting from the stunning image it portrays.

  • 4. Tattered Flags can be personalized upon request

    Interested in purchasing a Tattered Flag but want to make it even more special? These items can be personalized with a name, or other image to make these unique gifts even more memorable. (Personalized flags are $75, and that added cost will go directly to helping Mission 22 as well.
