A Soldier's Heart Bluegrass and Muddy Waters

A Soldier's Heart Bluegrass and Muddy Waters I am a Combat Veteran (OIF 06/07) Disabled with PTSD We are engaging other Veterans, like myself, in retreats. 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

Veterans: Your story, your struggles, your victories & your healing journey all matter more than you know.

At A Soldier’s Heart, we want you to remember that you’re not alone. Mental health isn’t weakness, it’s part of being human. It’s part of being a warrior who’s carried a heavy load for far too long.

Whether you’re battling the quiet moments, navigating transitions or just trying to catch your breath, please know this: There is support, there is community & there is hope.

We’re here to walk with you, listen to you & remind you that your life has value.

If you need someone to talk to, reach out.
If you’re struggling, lean on your battle buddies, your community or on us.

This past weekend, A Soldier’s Heart hosted a wonderful Women Veterans Retreat & wow… What a way to close out the year!

We spent time in a long, restorative sound bath, did some gentle movement & Reiki healing session with The Healing Hut on 641. We tapped into our creativity during a fun craft session with fellow Veteran, Ms. Christine & shared powerful moments during our Veteran-led discussions.

We listened to music, played a little of our own, gathered around the campfire, enjoyed amazing food & (maybe most importantly), finally gave ourselves the space to breathe, rest & reconnect.

This was our last retreat of 2025, but don’t let that stop you… Applications for 2026 retreats are now open!
If you’re a Veteran looking for community, healing & a place to simply be, we’d love for you to join us!

Today, World Mental Health Day, we honor every battle that isn’t seen. The ones fought in silence, behind smiles or alone in the dark.

At A Soldier’s Heart, we know the power of connection, nature, music & community. Whether it’s a retreat, a conversation by the lake or a moment shared through song; healing begins when we reach out & remind one another: You are not alone.

If you or a Veteran you know is struggling, call the Veterans Crisis Line at 988 then press 1. You can also reach assistance by texting 838255 or using the online chat feature.
