Every time we host a WWIA event I am amazed on how humble the heroes are. They are always very gracious and tell us thank you for hosting the event for them. Upon arrival to the event everyone is pretty conservative with their conversations. Once everyone gets to know each other is when the magic happens. Good conversations are abundant. The real healing is around the camp fire after the hunt. The guys usually will start sharing their experiences, thoughts, and fears of being a wounded combat veteran. On many occasions, the heroes will express how good it feels to discuss the life changing events with kindred spirits, and how good it makes them feel. When they make those types of comments, it makes all of the work and prepping worth the effort. It also makes me appreciate the good life that I have, and we owe it all to them.
