History
Military
This deeply personal film follows Jeff Wells from leading soldiers in Iraq to building three mission-driven nonprofits that now serve thousands. With his father's dying encouragement, Jeff launched Wish for Our Heroes (W4OH) to meet urgent needs of military families. He created Walk Among Heroes to take WWII veterans back to the battlefields of Normandy, Italy, and the Ardennes, preserving living memory. And after rescuing his dog Winston during the 2021 Texas snowstorm, Jeff witnessed the power of the human–canine bond—sparking Winston's Warriors, pairing veterans with rescue dogs and supporting healing through dog sports like agility.
