I would like to start off with a thank you to those who put this event together. The hospitality is above and beyond. To WWIA, thank you for the therapy, no phone service, just brothers talking, hanging out and connecting not even knowing how much we have in common. The trip was therapeutic as a mini reset. A 4-day weekend reset. I look forward to coming home with the reset button reset. I was able to connect with nature and give thanks to God for life, another day, another week, another year. Most important is life, and that is what this trip did for me. Combat, combat stress, not turning off the switch, divorce and now my kids not with me, my pride and joy. I can teach them what I love to do in life.
