Event Name: MD D & G

This is the first event I’ve been on with WWIA and it’s been nothing short of an incredible experience. From my interactions with Corrina in getting everything in place through the execution of the event, it has been nothing but first-class treatment. Having been on other trips/events with other organizations, I will say that you guys have met the mark. It’s obvious that you guys have met your founder’s intent by bringing together a group of genuine and sincere people who just want to spend time together outdoors. I can’t say that every other organization has that same focus. The generosity of the host and all the people who have come together donating their time, money experience is unmatched. They have all known each other a long time and welcomed us into their group like we’ve known each other forever. That kind of companionship is hard to find. It just so happened that I found myself in a blind with two other men deployed to the same area I was in and trading stories of the villages and people we had in common brought up memories I hadn’t considered in a long time. I understand this is the 5th or 6th year this event has gone on and I hope it continues for many more. Every veteran deserves to be treated this well. I can’t thank you guys and WWIA enough. I’ll be talking about this weekend for a long time to come and will certainly keep in touch with the new friends I’ve made. Thanks again for everything.
