🪖 Gritty Veterans

Strength After Service

“The mission doesn’t end — it evolves.”


👋 Welcome

I’m Dr. Henry J. Nachtsheim, III — a retired U.S. Army paratrooper turned aviator, but now a psychologist with a passion for building resilience in those who’ve served.

I founded Gritty Veterans because too many of us hit a wall when we leave the military — lost without the structure, camaraderie, and mission that defined us.

This site is for you — the warrior now facing civilian life, and wondering how to keep moving forward with purpose.


🔥 Our Mission

To help Veterans stay gritty beyond the uniform — in mind, body, and spirit.

We build programs and partnerships that foster:

  • Mental and emotional strength
  • Peer and professional support
  • Suicide prevention
  • Leadership in post-service life

Whether you’re thriving or barely hanging on — you’re not alone. And your grit didn’t end at ETS.


💥 What is G.R.I.T.?

G — Greater
R — Resilience
I — Intestinal Fortitude
T — Tenacity

This isn’t academic grit — this is battlefield grit. The kind that pushes through when you’re already at your limit. We’re here to help you keep going.


🫱 Join the Mission

We’re just getting started — and we need other gritty veterans, clinicians, leaders, and IT warriors to build the future with us.

Coming soon:

  • 🔥 Bonfire Resilience Events
  • 🧠 Veteran Well-being Circles
  • 🎯 Leadership Consulting (via Thunderhorse LLC & Grit Doctors)
  • 🚨 Suicide Prevention Collaboration

⚔️ Stay in the Fight

You didn’t train for war just to get lost in peace.
Stay gritty. Stay grounded. The mission continues.
