A Soldier's Heart Bluegrass and Muddy Waters

A Soldier's Heart Bluegrass and Muddy Waters A nonprofit organization founded in February of 2016 to help meet the needs of veterans through retreats and music. A Soldier's Heart is my dream.

I served in Iraq from March 06 till June 07. I was in C Co 2/123AR--we ran convoy escorts, combat patrols, and Instant Reaction Force (IRF) out of LSA Anaconda. We normally ran six nights a week: Two nights a week to Baghdad and back; and four nights a week to Tikrit and back. I suffer from PTSD as many combat Veterans do. I started this Non Profit Organization to re-engage Veterans with PTSD into

nature. We take Veterans on canoeing/kayaking trips and camping in the woods or campgrounds when allowed. We have partnered with a camp in Frankfort, KY where we hold regular retreats. We introduce Veterans to different holistic modalities while on these retreats. This allows them to add tools to their kit to aid in healing. We also team up with other organizations and camps to fulfill similar missions. These partnerships allow us to reach more Veterans and promote other organizations. Mother Nature is very therapeutic. I hope these Veterans will leave these activities with a new found hobby that they can enjoy with other Veterans and their families. I hope to grow this organization to a point that it helps thousands of Veterans across out great nation, all while still being grass roots. God Bless,

Jeremy Wallace, Founder

✨Waken Maken 270 is back for another year!

🌅At Waken Make 270 every shirt tells a story, but bleach and ink make it permanent. For the last six years, I’ve been designing, hand-bleaching, and heat-pressing custom graphic tees right here locally. Because each piece is bleached and or pressed by hand, no two shirts ever turn out identical—you get a one-of-a-kind, style you’ve all known and loved!
