I am truly thankful for the opportunity to spend time outdoors enjoying the hunt and time to build camaraderie with new friends. It amazes me each time I meet new veterans, that no matter which era or branch we came from , we immediately connect and communicate like we’ve known each other. The hunt is a fun part of enjoying any outdoor activity, but the underlying communication and time together is the healing part for me. Telling and hearing others stories does big things. Multiple times I’ve heard people say “Wow, I haven’t talked about that in XY years or ever”. It does wonders sharing your experiences with vets and non-vets interested and willing to listen, hear you and truly want to understand you. A huge thanks to Todd and his wife for opening their home and hosting an amazing event, also for rallying his force of locals to support him and all of us. They are all amazing people that care. Thanks also to Jon French for all the hard work and effort he puts in to make sure things are fun. I appreciate everything and will take this motivation home and be inspired to reach out to others in my area to help and spread the word of what WWIA does. Thanks for a great time!
