From the Organizer

Operation Ruck the Bayou will be hosted on Saturday, May 15th, 2027 at Saint Arnold Brewery in Houston, TX. This event will support The Joshua Chamberlain Society's Houston Chapter.

The Joshua Chamberlain Society (“JCS”) is a grass roots, 501(c)(3) federally tax exempt charity that was formed with the mission of providing long term support to veterans from local areas that have sustained permanent combat injuries fighting the long war on terror for our nation. It also provides long term support to the children of local veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice in our service.

Founded in St. Louis, Missouri it has now expanded into additional chapters serving the Nashville, Tennessee and Houston, Texas areas. Each chapter runs independently so donors know their contributions stay with their local JCS Heroes.

When American service members are severely wounded in combat, their lives are changed forever. And when our service members make the ultimate sacrifice, their families need support and security.

With the help of generous donors and fundraising events, we help severely wounded veterans live full, vibrant lives despite their injuries, and we make sure the families of the fallen are provided with support and security for the future.
