Military Branch: USMC

Event Name: AL Inshore/Offshore Fishing

At this juncture of my life as an aging warrior. I’ve started to feel a loneliness and longing for those times in my life where I felt the closeness of my teammates and troops to share that special bond. This trip, as short as it was rekindled that Esprit de Corps I’ve been missing for so long. With not only my fellow wounded warriors but also the civilians who so graciously hosted us for the fishing event. They welcomed us into their home and made us part of their family. Nice to know there are still great Americans who care about their returning warriors. WWIA is a fantastic organization and has made the adventure that much more special. Best to all. Thank you for what you did!
