Cpl. Voels belongs to a military family. His father is USN(ret.) and his stepfather is currently on active duty in Afghanistan with the Army. Jeremy joined the Army in 2009 and was deployed to the East Kunar Province of Afghanistan in July 2010. He was hit in the back by sniper fire on September 15, 2010. The bullet shattered vertebrae, damaged his spinal cord, and exited through his chest. His shattered bone fragments shredded his intestines, damaged many organs, and tore at least one artery. Cpl. Voels was transported to Landstuhl and then to Walter Reed Army Medical Center; he has undergone many surgeries on his back and internal organs. Jeremy is paralyzed and is scheduled for additional surgeries in Febuary 2012.

Jeremy was born in Chesapeake, VA and grew up on military bases throughout the country. He and Ashley married in 2009 and were initially stationed in Fort Campbell, KY. Ashley has been at his side in Germany, Walter Reed, and now at the Spinal Injury Center in Tampa. Though at times it seemed Jeremy would lose his life, he has survived by his determination and stubbornness to live, as well as his desire to take care of his family. They are the proud parents of son Kaydon (2) and daughter Charleigh (1). Upon his release from the hospital, Jeremy and Ashley wish to make a home for their family in Central Florida. Habitat for Humanity will build their home in Southwest Orange County.
