Logan Shiflett
​President
​
My name is Logan Shiflett and I currently live in Cromwell, MN. I became involved with the Wounded Warriors United Headquarter organization in 2013. I started with a motorcycle rally fundraiser and eventually raised enough money to take Veterans on a guided snow goose hunt. Since then, with a lot of help from local communities and fellow service members I’ve been able to organize a board and make MN an official chapter, of which I now serve as President.

I enlisted in the Army in October 2005 and Ets'd in 2018 as a SSG with a primary MOS of 19D (Cavalry Scout). I enlisted in the Air National Guard the next day as a weapons loader on F'-16 fighter jets. With two tours overseas and over 17 years of experience I understand what Veterans really want and what they enjoy doing.

Growing up in a small town I came to love the outdoors. My forte is waterfowl hunting. Waterfowl hunting separates itself from other types of hunting because a group can have the ability to talk, laugh and bond while sitting in a blind or a field.

I love to organize and plan events for Veterans. Since we started our MN chapter, we have been fortunate to help over 500 Veterans to date from MN get into the outdoors.

Joel Peterson
Board Member

My name is Joel Peterson and I was born and raised on the South side of Mille Lacs Lake. My family and I now reside in South St. Paul. For nearly 7 years I served as an Infantryman, being stationed at Fort Benning, GA and Schofield Barracks, HI. I deployed to Iraq in 2006 and in April of 2007 was wounded when my small unit was attacked. Despite multiple surgeries and physical therapy, I was medically retired in 2009 after which I returned home and eventually went back to school; earning my bachelor’s degree in Business in 2013.

I became involved with WWU as a recipient of one of their trips. I didn’t know what to expect, but left feeling like I was a part of something great. After volunteering to help out I was eventually added to the board. Hopefully I can play a small role in bringing that sense of community and understanding to other vets.

Ashley Shiflett
Secretary

Hello, my name is Ashley Shiflett & I come from a family of Marine Corps Veterans. My grandfather was enlisted from 1956-1960 & my Father enlisted right out of high school in 1980 & served until 1983. I personally have never joined but the military has played a huge role throughout my entire life. I met my husband in 2012 when he was currently deployed in Iraq finishing up his tour. After his return home we started dating & ended up marrying in 2016. Helping him run this charity he loves so much has been a humbling experience & it has shown me just how strong the bond is between fellow brothers in arms. Our Veterans are incredible people & it is an honor to provide them with outdoor adventures.

I hope to have a positive impact on our team and look forward to spending time with our veterans.
