Jeremy Harrell is an Iraq combat veteran who came home with severe PTSD and traumatic brain injuries. The VA rated him permanently disabled at 70% plus individual unemployability. His own VA mental health providers encouraged him to volunteer as part of his therapy. In 2019 he founded Veterans Club Incorporated, a faith-based nonprofit helping thousands of veterans and first responders overcome PTSD, TBI, substance abuse, and homelessness. He served as the unpaid volunteer CEO. No salary. No paycheck.
Just a disabled veteran giving everything he had to help his brothers and sisters. For that service he was named Kentucky Veteran of the Year, inducted into the Kentucky Veterans Hall of Fame, honored in the Congressional Record by Senator Rand Paul, and personally congratulated by President Trump. But the Biden DOJ came after him. They indicted this disabled veteran for “theft of government funds”, simply for receiving his VA disability benefits while volunteering full-time.
He was convicted, sentenced to six months in federal prison, six months of home confinement, and ordered to pay $207,000 in restitution he cannot afford. This is what weaponization looks like: targeting a combat veteran for volunteering too much. Jeremy is also a Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplain and a strong conservative voice. Today the fight for what is right continues. We value your privacy
