I had a great time. This is my second trip with WWIA, and I appreciated every minute of it. I struggle with my PTSD every day, but after spending time with all the guides and other veterans, I came home in a much better place mentally. My family loves that WWIA has invited me again because they too can see a difference in me. I appreciate everyone here, Dan, Todd, Frank and every guide here is amazing, and they truly care about us. You can feel everyone’s appreciation for our service and after a few rough deployments and a long road of recovery, I could not thank those men and women and WWIA enough. I want to thank Susan for cooking for us all weekend, it was delicious. Also, to the volunteers who stopped by to spend time with us and brought us dinner, thank you. I can’t forget Scott and Orry for the gifts and the ride from the airport. I am very appreciative to everyone this weekend; this was an amazing experience. I hope to stay in contact with everyone. To my fellow vets, I love all of you, stay strong and remember you always have a friend in me that is willing to listen and help navigate this crazy life. Dan, thank you so much for allowing me to come and hunt with you and your family. You have beautiful property, and I am appreciative of all you do for me and my fellow brothers and sisters. Greg, you are amazing, thank you for Hosting us and making sure we were all taken care of. Jeff and Todd, stay in touch. I appreciate our conversations and the bond we formed on this hunt. Thank you for having my back gentlemen. If you ever need anything let me know and I will be there. Thank you WWIA.
