HEROSTOCK began in 2022, under the name VetStock, with two local Nebraska bands playing for a group of 100 Veterans and First Responders in a shop on an acreage in SE Lincoln. 12 local non-profits were there to make the Veterans in need aware of their services, including housing, mental health, hunting, and motorcycle therapy. The response was so great, that the founders decided to make it bigger, better, and renamed it HEROSTOCK, to include Veterans, First Responders, Law Enforcement, and Gold Star families, so they could take stock in our Nation's heroes.
In 2023, we had 6 singers/bands on stage, over 1000 heroes attending, 16 different states represented, and 44 organizations attended. Helping each other heal, provide support, and allow those to regain some camaraderie that they may have lost.
One of the biggest goals of HEROSTOCK, is to reduce the 33.9 Veteran suicides a day along with the 201 First Responder who died of suicide in 2022, many of whom are suffering from PTSD. While the goal is to stop Veteran suicide all together, we realize it needs to be one person at a time, and if we can save just one person, it will all be worth it.
