Heroes on high

Hearts of Our Heroes hosted Cocktails And Combat Boots on April 12 at The Nest at Petit Jean Mountain.

Event organizers, Veterans and military families of the fallen enjoyed a beautiful evening of camaraderie, celebration and honoring those who served.

The 501(c)(3) charity honors fallen service members by keeping the promise to our nation’s heroes — never forgetting the families left behind. It was founded by Andrea Fisher in 2022. “Hearts of our Heroes is an inclusive nonprofit organization regardless of your loved one’s military branch, duty status, or manner of death,” said Fisher, who is the founder and president, in a written statement.

The veterans and military families were treated to a meal, drinks and a breathtaking view. Floyd Brantley, a 99-year-old veteran, was presented with a Gold Star. He served in World War II and Korea. Proceeds from the silent auction and ticket sales benefited the Military Families of the Fallen in Arkansas.

Other events they sponsor include Survivors on the Lake Day at Fairfield Bay, Fallen Heroes Combat Boot Display in Conway, World Suicide Prevention Day Luminary and Fallen Heroes Holiday Tree in the Arkansas State Capitol.

Fisher and those who lead Hearts of Our Heroes want to minister to the families who are hurting. “They are a legacy … they are the hearts of our heroes,” Fisher said.
