K. Menting

I want to thank the WWIA program for giving me the opportunity to come out to this special event. By no means was this just an event. It was a game changer, life changer and a new chapter in my life. I want to thank our hosts, David Ward, Gene, Frank and Doug for hosting this event. Coming out here I didn’t know what to expect. One of my fears was to shoot a gun, as I hadn’t since I have been out of the Marines, 10 years. Well I’ll tell you what, mission accomplished. I shot the Osceola turkey, rarest turkey, right in the head. This was one of the best feelings in my life besides getting married, the birth of my daughter and coming home from Iraq. This will be a new chapter in my life, hunting and I will appreciate every time I get to be in the outdoors. John Keeney you are the man I want to thank for your service, for keeping me updated and getting me propped up months before the event. It was also a great opportunity to spend time with Rod, a Vietnam Vet, which is the real deal. I will never forget the trip and will continue to communicate with everyone from here. I recommend this trip to whoever needs a boost in life.
