Event Name: NY Upland Bird & Couples Retreat

Laura and I wanted to take a few brief moments of our day to express how thankful we both are to have participated in the 2013 Wounded Warriors in Action (WWIA) couples retreat in Upstate New York this month. We are very blessed and humbled by the wonderful people who helped raise the money and dedicated their time and resources to put this event together. We had a wonderful weekend filled with fun and good memories that will surely last a lifetime. As a wounded service member, I can personally say, that this WWIA trip will help keep me motivated on my path to recovery from all my combat related injuries. Your devotion, love and support helped give me the strength to continue my medical appointments upon my return from New York. I have a fresh outlook and knew perspective on paying it forward and I hope that you all continue to help support many more veterans’ over the years to come. God bless you all and thank you very much for making one weekend out of the year, a special celebration for my wife and me.
