I want to provide a sincere thank you not to just the Wounded Warrior in Action organization, but also want all the individuals involved to know your generosity was simply remarkable. The organization helped to provide a rehabilitation opportunity in which shared another tool towards reintegration and relaxation. The people involved truly provided an experience of a lifetime. I never really understood the resilience and devotion efforts placed towards the Veterans, however; the recognition we received from Mike, Dale, Ryan, Cody and the lovely lady Mrs. Susie shared a passion and love for what they do and also provided an education in which I’ll never forget. The WILKS Ranch owners whom I can only assume are in simple words (Remarkable Americans) they shared a part of their livelihood in which seems to be a surreal. Land stretched over Gods Earth in the World’s best country managed and preserved with helping hands provided beautiful scenery, amazing wildlife and great company. Though my letter is simple and could never emphasis my gratefulness. Thanks to everyone involved too making this outing an event I’ll never forget. From a humbled service member whom was blessed with the privilege of serving our country, to a lucky man married to the love of my life and the father of two amazing kids in which all devoted their lives to my purpose and our Country. You have definitely started another chapter within the Veneklasen lives. Thanks again!
