It’s been a week now since you took us out, and I’m still riding the high! I just wanted to thank you (and your wife!) for welcoming a group of scruffy war veterans into your home/boat and showing us a fantastic time. For a poor kid growing up in the Midwest, those kind of fishing adventures were only something I’d read about, not something I’d ever expect to be able to take part in.
And as Freedom Waters knows, being out on the water is healing as well- Ive got some PTSD from my tours in Iraq (along with my 12 years on the SWAT team), but nothing clears the mind like a new adventure and the camaraderie that generally accompany it. You’re doing great work!

I thoroughly enjoyed the sailing program today. The instructors were great, I learned quite a bit of sailing terminology and techniques. Please sign me up again for next week, the 26th.
Thanks a lot

You turned a hard time into a very special experience for our family! ❤
