Raise Your Glass to America's Everyday Heroes
In 2026, our country celebrates 250 years of grit, courage, and the indomitable American spirit. At Garrison Brothers, we’re honoring that milestone the best way we know how—by raising a glass to the heroes who keep our communities strong each and every day.
From January 15th through March 31, 2026, we invite you to nominate someone who embodies service, sacrifice, and heart. Whether they’re a veteran, active-duty service member, nurse, teacher, first responder, or an unsung neighbor always willing to lend a hand, we want to hear their story. Their strength deserves to be recognized. Their impact deserves to be celebrated.
How It Works
Submit your nomination through the official form below anytime between January 15th and March 31, 2026. Every nomination will be reviewed by Garrison Brothers and Boot Campaign. We’ll be looking for the best of the following qualities. Ten exceptional individuals will be chosen to receive our highest thanks and recognition.
Community Impact – How has this person made life better for those around them?
Embodiment of the American Spirit – Do they show strength, service, compassion, resilience, leadership—or all of the above?
Uniqueness of Contribution – What makes their story stand out? How have they gone above and beyond expectations?
Why We're Doing This
Garrison Brothers has always believed that bourbon is best when it brings people together—and there’s no better time than America’s 250th birthday to honor those who embody the values that built this nation. But honoring heroes means more than storytelling. It also means supporting those who serve.
We encourage all fans, supporters, and friends of the distillery to donate directly to Boot Campaign, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of veterans and military families.
