Stuff Squeaks Jeep

December 23rd, 2025

Join us for a wonderful time of fellowship and fun in memory of James “Squeak” Thompson, and in support of two great causes!

About This Event

This annual event encourages attendees to “Stuff” Squeak’s Jeep with as much non-perishable food/cans as possible for donation to the Geneva Food Pantry. A raffle basket auction and a 50/50 will be held with those proceeds generously donated to WWIA.

This event is held annually to honor the memory of James “Squeak” Thompson, a 6-year Marine Corp Vietnam Veteran and Purple Heart Recipient who had a tremendous heart for helping his fellow veterans. It’s an awesome time of fellowship and fun for the whole family!

Our Mission isSaving Lives!

WWIA devotes all of its energy and resources to supporting the men and women wounded in combat who were awarded the Purple Heart Medal. We serve all Purple Heart Heroes, regardless of era of conflict.

In 2024, WWIA held 40 events across 35 states. Through opportunities like whitetail deer hunting in Tennessee, halibut fishing in Alaska, and bear hunting in Wisconsin, these Heroes experience a wide variety of opportunities that fulfill lifelong dreams.

WWIA provided real services to 166 Purple Heart recipients this past year through therapeutic and adaptive sports like hunting and fishing, helping our wounded veterans recover mentally, physically, and spiritually from their wartime experiences.

We’re committed to healing the lives of America’s veterans and reducing veteran suicide. For 19 years, we’ve been changing and saving lives! We have over 1,500 testimonials from Heroes who can attest that what we’re doing works!

Testimonials From Our Wounded Warriors

This event has been one of a kind. The Host Dan has made me feel like I am home. I was able to hunt and shoot my first turkey of my life. I also caught my very first Palomino at Black Leggs Creek.

I had mixed emotions coming to an event like this since I've never attended one before. With that being said, this is the single best event or environment that I could've asked for. As soon as I walked into the lodge, I had an immediate comfortable feeling. As the night went on, I felt like I had gotten to know most of the people there to the point that I…

I got to talk to other…

Once Again, WWIA hits it out of the park. Dennis and Shelley are fine examples of great Americans. Talking to other Wounded veterans reminds me again that I'm not alone. Healing takes a lifetime and WWIA makes it easier. T. Hosfelt, US Army, Purple Heart recipient

This event couldn't have come at any better time in my life for me. I was anxious to come, and to be honest, I've had to fight the urge to leave because I feel so uncomfortable. But, this event, these people; man alive! I feel so much peace right now after just a few days. I know I'm odd, I can't help but pull away. But everyone here loved me…

This was by far the best trip I've ever been on. Even though I didn't get a turkey, the healing from the fellowship was worth more than anything else. This organization has helped me through dark times just knowing I'm not alone in a constant struggle in my head. Love the people, love the camaraderie and I get more out of this than I could have ever imagined. Thank you…
