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 local veterans who have sustained permanent combat injuries while fighting the long war against terror for our Nation. The JCS also provides long-term support to the children of local veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Founded in St. Louis, Missouri, the JCS has expanded into a second chapter that serves the Nashville, Tennessee area. Each chapter runs independently so donors are assured that their contributions go directly to their own local JCS Heroes.
The JCS adopts Wounded Heroes and their families for life with multi-faceted support in order to improve the quality of life for these great and brave Americans.
