Transitioning from military service can leave a void, but for Corey—a combat veteran—it sparked a mission. #LastDramStanding was born during the isolating days of the pandemic, not just as a search for friendship, but as a way to foster real understanding between veterans and civilians. Corey chose whiskey, not as a means to escape, but as a catalyst for connection—bridging divides and starting honest conversations.

As a nonprofit, #LastDramStanding is reshaping the meaning of community. Through small, supportive chapters, barrel selection trips to Kentucky, and special bottle releases, they create welcoming spaces to talk openly about mental health. Their inaugural commemorative bottle paid tribute to First Lieutenant Levi Barnard, a hero lost in Iraq, reminding us each bottle carries a story worth telling. Proceeds from these releases fuel vital charities.

This mission isn’t about making money—it’s about healing wounds, honoring sacrifice, and forging a stronger future together. Recognizing the struggle is the hardest part, but it’s also the first step toward rediscovering purpose and belonging.

If you or someone you care about is facing a tough time, don’t go through it alone. Connect with @TheLastDramStanding and join a movement built on remembrance, resilience, and real relationships.

Let’s heal, honor, and build a community where every story matters and no one stands alone.
