S. Horsley

Ms. Lou, I first met you when I hunted with you and Jim and WWIA in 2011. What you are giving us is nothing short of a life changing experience. The outdoors saved my life, and patriots like you and your family brought me out of a very dark place and into the light. I was invited back this year to see how the event has progressed. I am blown away. You have made yours and Jim’s vision a reality. I am amazed at the support this event gets from your family and community. It is the epitome of Semper Fidelis (always faithful). My wife, Fae was fortunate enough to visit in 2014. It was the first time she had ever been invited to an event. Between the two of us we have never experienced so much love and true gratitude in our lives. People like you make our service truly worth it. You are the reason we fought and give us a reason to continue fighting. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do for my brothers in arms. You are truly your brother’s keeper. I haven’t experienced the Esprit De Corps (spirit of camaraderie) in a long time. I love you all and am eternally grateful. Thank you.
