John and Dawn, wanting to say Thank You both for this awesome, amazing and memorable salmon fishing trip! I’m sharing my thoughts and feelings of my experience of a AAR (After Action Review). First you bring a warm welcome into my heart and mind of this amazing tranquility event. I feel overwhelmed with kindness, love, caring into the thought and process of what you soul heartily brought and showed each and every day, from start to finish, of what you so lovingly wanted this part of the WWIA to be for Wounded Warriors. My mind and body has remembered what slow and easy has been for me in the past. I feel I’ve excelled in who I am and who I once was. Which is a combination of happiness and a true blessing. I want to share with you a piece of my wisdom and understanding. I believe that when people say, “Quit thinking about the past!” I always tell them, “The past lives within me, I’m not reliving the past” I also wanted to share for me and other warriors that, “Living for your loved ones is hard, but dying for them is easy.” … You guys make that “Living” part look easier now.
Once again thank you for all you’ve done and all you’re exceeding to do for Purple Heart recipients. You and Dawn are amazing people. I feel it’s so awesome how you both are to each other; a lot of love there shows. Food was awesome, boat was awesome, fishing was awesome, open bay was awesome, facilities were awesome, your house was amazing and just the pure camaraderie was pure awesomeness!
See you guys soon. Can’t wait!!
