No sir. Just feel compelled to give a little something back to the guys who gave me so much!

Its unfortunate, but im going to do this on my own without committing to any organizations. I have two men coming out to hunt this year so far. I think i can accommodate a couple more. If you are a combat veteran without a place to hunt, please reach out to me. Also, i would request you be able to provide a dd214. Apparently there are folks out there willing to take something like this away from those who actually deserve it!

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Id have no idea how to go about vetting them myself, but thats one thing i like about the local organization ive been hooked up with. They do all the vetting, and the choose participants that dont just jump from one camp to another for free hunts. Theft of valor is about the most disgusting “crime” one can commit IMHO. There used to be a database the Marine Corps kept up for the combat action ribbon, you could look up an individual by name to see whether they truly had received it. Just went there & it doesn't appear to be in use anymore. But yeah, a DD-214 or similar document will have record of campaigns and awards.

I’d love to join you! Too bad you’re so far away.
Thanks for the offer though. It does feel good to know there’s people out there that appreciate the military.
Hopefully you get some good guys or gals to take you up on this.

Had a fine gentleman who survived the Vietnam war out a couple days ago. He came from cooper texas so it can be done. I’d love to join you! Too bad you’re so far away.
