How does one express their gratitude through words when words will not do justice? While contemplating past events, both traumatic and joyous, I was accompanied by some of the most caring and selfless people I have met in my entire life. I witnessed fellow vets tell stories and recall personal events that they haven’t told in years. I could go on and on, but I will not bore you. Brad and Julie, Rick and Tim, and everyone else who hosted us were only concerned with us having a good time. Never have I been treated to such five-star accommodations, five-star food, and world class hunting. I quickly became the laughing stock for my ability to shoot and shoot. 75+ rounds if anyone was counting.
In summary, THANK YOU. Your generosity and compassion save lives. These experiences will help vets become productive and healthy citizens. No one owes us anything and you all give so much.
