I first want to express my deepest gratitude for the invite to the hunt in New York. I didn’t put a dent in the deer population, but I have something greater. I have new friends in new places that I can call on to just talk or go have a cup of coffee with when I am in the area. There are things more important in life than getting a deer on a hunt. Things like reliving the good times deployed with other soldiers that might or might not have been in your area. Meeting new veterans who may or may not be as goofy as me. Talking smack across service lines. I have had more fun on this hunting trip than I ever had hunting before. I think maybe that it wasn’t really the deer I was hunting for. Maybe it was just talking to other guys who get it. I think you’re doing a wonderful thing up there in Newfield, NY. I wouldn’t change a thing. God Bless
