Military Branch: USMC

Event Name: DoubleCreek TN Turkey

This event couldn’t have come at any better time in my life for me. I was anxious to come, and to be honest, I’ve had to fight the urge to leave because I feel so uncomfortable. But, this event, these people; man alive! I feel so much peace right now after just a few days. I know I’m odd, I can’t help but pull away. But everyone here loved me anyway. Dennis and Shelley were amazing hosts. This team of guides and supporters were humbling to be around. I’m so grateful to them for allowing me the opportunity to be here. The WWIA organization, from start to finish has been world class. I’ve been so fortunate to be here, to share laughs and enormous amounts of food and fellowship with these folks. I believe I was meant to be here. And I got to harvest a nice bird, that’s just icing on the cake. Thank you so much. I can’t say it loud enough, or enough times, I’m truly overwhelmed.
