Jon Jackson: Sowing Seeds of Strength, Beyond the Battlefield!

Welcome to today’s show. I am truly excited about my guest today, and he is going to talk about a very important issue too many veterans are experiencing. What I most admire about Jon is that he is “walking the walk” and doing something about it! Jon served as a United States Army Ranger. With six deployments into combat zones, he experienced situations that are incomprehensible to most of us. But it was not until after leaving the service that he began suffering from post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury, or PTS & TBI. Unable to find organizations that could help him and so many others like him, Jon knew he had to do something. He is the founder & Executive Director of STAG VETS, a 501 3C non-profit addressing those veterans suffering from PTS and other invisible wounds of war. Additionally, he has formed Comfort Farms, the first Acute Veterans Crisis Agricultural center, named in honor of United States Army Airborne Ranger Captain, Kyle Comfort, killed in action on May 8, 2010. There he prepares veterans for careers in sustainable food production and healing through a model of Agro-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. You are going to be captivated as Jon tells him emotional story. Warning, you may need a tissue before the story is over.
