Hands On Driving Academy

Hands On Driving Academy As a 501(c)3 we accept donations and provide tax forms to those that assist us with our mission. https://handsondrivingacademy.org/donate/

Founded in 2020, Hands On Driving Academy was created to address the needs of the Veteran community that suffered severe injuries, specifically focusing on individuals that are unable to drive without hand control equipment.

Thanks to Tom Boal for the very generous donation. We will auction this signed suit off in the near future.

Tomorrow is my 14th anniversary of my ETS. I left Cam Ranh Bay at 7:30AM and arrived at McCord Air Base at 7:05 AM. The same day. My first experience with time travel. Served steak and eggs and all the milk I could drink.

Wish we could get this car in the US.

RE: James R. (Doc) Smith services. We are still waiting on Harris County Coroner to release Doc's remains to Jeter Funeral Home in Friendswood. Kris met with them today to begin planning the arrangements. I'll advise as soon as things can be formalized.

I spoke with Jennifer yesterday and she mentioned that the family would prefer that people make donations to the driving school that Doc Smith and I founded to serve the Veteran community in lieu of flowers.

Although we initially aimed the program at just veterans that were severely injured we soon received requests from individuals that were not veterans. We then expanded the program to accept anyone that entered.

Our donation link is as follows: https://handsondrivingacademy.org/donate/

We hope to assist another driver through the qualification process and compete at SCCA Nationals this year. We are developing another Honda Fit that hopefully is better than the car we used previously. Your help is greatly appreciated.
