The people who set up this weekend for us are an amazing group of people. All of the planning, effort, and coordination between the people involved happened with the sole purpose of helping Soldiers and Marines move on from those dark places in which our minds roam. I will never be able to repay their kindness. The other veterans that I was fortunate enough to spend this weekend with are some of the most selfless individuals that I have ever met. They helped me in ways that I’m sure they will never know. I must admit that before I came here, my life had become more and more isolated and I was nervous about coming. But now that it’s over, having been brought back together with other veterans who know what I know and don’t judge me for it, well, it gives me hope.
Again, I would just like to thank everybody for this experience. And a special thank you to Chris and Brenda, Jamie and his family, and all of the local people who have been so kind to me. I know I will always be able to look back on this weekend as a turning point in my life.
