My Journey, Our Mission

 Reggie Howard
Founder, Hero’s Corner Grand Rapids
U.S. Navy Veteran (1980–1991)


I served in the U.S. Navy from 1980 to 1991. After returning to civilian life, I struggled with alcohol, drug use, and mental health challenges. In 2007, I was admitted to the Battle Creek VA Medical Center, and that’s where my life began to change. Through support and recovery, I found hope — and a new purpose.

In 2008, I became a Certified Peer Support Specialist and started working with other veterans who were going through the same struggles I had faced. I saw how many of us felt alone, without a safe, sober place to go for support, healing, and connection. I heard their pain, and I felt it — because I had lived it.

That’s why I started Hero’s Corner in 2022: a place where veterans can come as they are, find community, and work on their recovery in a clean and sober environment. I built Hero’s Corner to make sure no veteran ever feels like they have to go through it alone.
