The Rally4Vets "Be The One" Road Rally
LA Washington, D.C.
Join the Rally. Save Lives.
I’m Robert Hess—an Army combat veteran, PTSD survivor, and the founder of Rally4Vets. Every summer, my team and I hit the road on an epic cross-country journey to support veteran suicide prevention.
This isn’t just a road trip. It’s a mission.
We stop at American Legion and VFW posts, connect with local communities, and make media appearances along the way—raising awareness and rallying support for those who served.
And we’d love for you to be part of it.
🚗 Partner with us.
🚗 Ride with us for a segment.
🚗 Meet us at a stop.
You can even track our progress in real time with our SPOT GPS tracker and follow us from coast to coast.
2024 was incredible. 2025? Even bigger. Even better.
This summer, we’ll be tackling some of the most legendary driving roads in America:
✅ Angeles Crest Highway – High-altitude thrills outside LA
✅ San Juan Mountain Skyway – Colorado’s alpine beauty at its best
✅ Twisted Sisters – Texas hill country’s rollercoaster ride
✅ Pig Trail Scenic Byway – Arkansas’ most famous motorcycle route
✅ Highway 7 through the Ozarks – Sweeping curves and forested views
✅ Push Mountain Road – Twisty roads built for fun
✅ Tail of the Dragon – 318 curves in 11 miles—enough said!
✅ Blue Ridge Parkway to DC – America’s favorite scenic highway
Wild, right? We think so, too.
So, if you love cars, adventure, and making a real difference, this is your chance to join the ride. Let’s Be The One to help veterans in need.
2025 "BE THE ONE" ROAD RALLY
Many veterans face mental health issues such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety. These issues can be debilitating and affect their daily lives. We lose almost 20 veterans every day to suicide. But it doesn't need to be that way.
Veterans need to know that help is available and where to find it. By connecting veterans to resources such as therapy and support groups, we can help them overcome these challenges and lead fulfilling lives.
Partners and supporters have a unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our nation's heroes by supporting the Be the One Road Rally for Veteran Suicide Prevention. By partnering with us, you can help raise awareness and funds to support programs that provide critical mental health resources to those who have served our country.

Memories from Our 2023 "Be The One" Rally for
Veteran Suicide Prevention
Below are just a few of the over 2,000 photos we took during the trip. It was a trip of a lifetime: stopping at American Legion Posts and speaking with people about veteran issues. Nothing can quite compare with traveling through this wonderful country of ours and meeting the kind and generous people who are the fabric of America.
