Event Name: Kodiak Alaska Salmon Fishing
Thank you for blessing me with this once in a lifetime opportunity to fish in the last frontier of Kodiak Alaska! From the moment Ms. Corrina contacted me and brought me into the fold, through the final goodbyes in Alaska, the entire experience has been professional, caring and phenomenal. Your organization has given me a gift that is truly priceless. I have wanted to visit Alaska my entire life, not only have you made that dream a reality, but you brought people into my life that are simply amazing. This journey has been a spiritual awakening for me, something I wasn’t even aware I needed. This trip has centered me. Kodiak, Alaska swallows you with its raw beauty and allows you to find peace no matter the chaos that is typically found in your heart, mind and soul. As for the people I have met on this trip, John is an outstanding representative of your organization. He immediately makes you feel comfortable and bends over backwards to ensure you are taken care of. Ranger Kiel is a phenomenal person who simply wants to give of himself no matter the cost. Ryan Sharratt is another phenomenal person with the biggest giving spirit I have encountered in a long time. Ashley and Branson Wallace are such great people who spent the entire day focused on ensuring we had a great day. I could honestly keep naming folks that gave of themselves and sought nothing in return, but I would literally fill up this entire book. In closing, keep up the awesome work you do on behalf of the wounded warriors. The impact you are making is immeasurable! I hope to continue this outstanding relationship and assist in your mission in any way that I can! You are doing God’s work. Thank you simply falls short on the amount of appreciation that I feel towards your organization and the individuals who entered my life during this adventure.
