If there is one thing in my life that is most important to me next to family, it is hunting. As an avid hunter from Illinois, one thing I’ve never hunted is turkey. I could not have been any more happy and excited than to be on this hunt with fellow Purple Heart brothers. We’ve all been through some of the most difficult times any person can ever go through, and we still will. My disabilities are sometimes a setback in life, but to go out with fellow sportsmen from around this great country is a way to take our minds off the struggle and forget our problems. This is a great time to sit back and leave worries behind and spend a great time in the great outdoors. I can never be thankful enough to Todd and Dawn Bohm for taking time out of their busy schedules to host, cook and guide us all on a fantastic trip. Thank you to all the guides and other volunteers for helping. Thank you for giving us veterans the best therapy God has to offer, ‘hunting.’ I wish nothing but the best to the other Heroes. We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails, and this trip was just that. Thank you WWIA.
