What an outstanding opportunity I had. To spend several days with other combat Wounded Warriors at the South Dakota pheasant hunt. The hunt was special, but the time spent with the other veterans was beyond words. The ability to participate in the discussions about how our wounds affected our lives for many years after the actual military event. I am so greatly appreciative for this opportunity provided by the Wounded Warriors in Action. The entire event was very heart warming. The Hosts at the Grand Ciel Lodge were so very gracious. The staff that participated in the pheasant hunt provided the skill and safety measures that made the hunt productive and very memorable. Now, on returning home, I will long remember this outing and the warm feelings I have for all those that made it all happen. Thank you, Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation. I also wish to express my sincere thanks to Jon French. I know that Frenchy had been working hard to secure for me a Purple Heart Medal that I had never previously received. Well there we were, after dinner, that last night at the Lodge. Frenchy had arranged for me to be presented with a Purple Heart medal, there in the presence of all my “brother” Wounded Warriors. What a touching moment. Something I will always treasure.
