We dive deep into the powerful mission of Last Dram Standing, a nonprofit using whiskey as a vehicle to build community and honor fallen service members. Corey shares his journey from combat veteran to nonprofit founder and how he's turning personal pain into purpose through meaningful connection.
• Founded during COVID when Corey was seeking community after military service
• Uses whiskey not as a means of consumption but as a catalyst for meaningful human connection
• Created to bridge the gap between veterans and civilians through shared experiences
• Honors fallen service members through special bottle releases with proceeds going to charities
• First bottle selected honored First Lieutenant Levi Barnard, killed by suicide bomber in Iraq
• Offers unique experiences like barrel selection trips to Kentucky distilleries
• Structured as nonprofit to clearly communicate their mission isn't about profit
• Breaking the group into chapters allows for more intimate, supportive connections
• Focuses on creating safe spaces for vulnerable conversations about mental health
• Encourages veterans to acknowledge struggles and seek help from community
If you're struggling or know someone who is, reach out. The fact that you're acknowledging it is the hardest step. From there, seek help, find your community, and discover your purpose. Follow Last Dram Standing on social media @TheLastDramStanding on all platforms.
