“My father, Jerry Thomas Hart is a Vietnam Veteran.

Dad was in Nam approximately August 1968-May 1969 with the Army 5th Infantry Division. He was a Chaplain’s assistant to Chaplain Al Skinner, who passed away in 2013 I believe. One day when they were driving a jeep, a kid came up to the jeep and dropped a grenade through the window and into Chaplain Skinner’s lap. Thankfully, they both managed to roll out of the jeep before it blew. Neither were injured as far as I know.

This photo was taken early 1990s. of my father and mother, Carla. They married in 1971. He retired in 1997 at the rank of E7 – SFC. My dad has dealt very well with everything. He openly talks about it and has spoken to schools around Veterans Day and even speaks to Psychology classes in high schools about the affects of war, PTSD and such.

I published the book, “Restoring Acres”, about a Vietnam Veteran who understands the struggles with PTSD. When his horse, DJ,
befriends a navy SEAL, the friendship among the three becomes a partnership. Together, with a team of other
military and police veterans, they face times of fun, tragedy, fear, and restoration in their lives.

I am married to a 1Lt in the Arkansas Army National Guard. We have 4 horses and a dog. I served as a mounted police officer for 7 years. We put God #1 and dream of Restoring Acres being a real place one day, a place for military, police and their families to find peace, healing, love and forgiveness. Horses and our heroes can find healing, trust, worth and love, things that only God can give…

“In his kindness God called you to share in his
eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So
after you have suffered a little while, he will
restore, support, and strengthen you, and he
will place you on a firm foundation.”
1 Peter 5:10 NLT
