I’m SGT Mark Schade, U.S. Army (Retired), Purple Heart recipient, and founder of Battlefield Blends. I launched this brand as a way to honor the brave men and women I served alongside—those who gave their all, and those who never made it home.

During my two tours in Iraq with the Quartermaster Corps, I saw firsthand the meaning of service, sacrifice, and brotherhood. Battlefield Blends was born from those memories—not just to deliver great BBQ, but to carry forward the spirit of those who served.

Every rub and sauce we make tells a story. Whether it’s Frontline Soldier for the Army, Leatherneck Marine for the Corps, or Salty Dog Sailor for the Navy, each flavor is a tribute to the heroes behind the uniform. These aren’t just seasonings. They’re symbols of strength, forged with purpose and crafted for those who live with pride.

At Battlefield Blends, our mission is simple: honor the warrior spirit and bring people together through bold, battle-tested flavor. We may not be a big company—but our mission is bigger than BBQ. It’s about making sure those who served are never forgotten.

So fire up the grill, rally your squad, and serve up something that means more.
