2015 Wounded Veteran elk camp
« on: October 24, 2015, 09:44:28 AM »
I can't use the term "Wounded Warrior" or will get sued by Wounded Warrior Project.  :rolleyes:  What a joke of an organization.  :bash:

Anyway, doing my annual camp again this year. Heading out in less than a week to set up camp. I have 3 Jarheads and 2 Dogfaces coming to camp this year. The 3 Marines will be flying in Thursday before opening day. Army boys are from in state and will probably be in Friday night. Fun will most definitely be had by all.  :IBCOOL:

Going to be a long week at work until I get to head out Friday morning. Short-timer syndrome in full effect.  ;)

I will start posting pictures when I can after I set up camp.

For those that hadn't seen it in the other thread, I had to swallow my pride and ask for help this year. I started a gofundme to help with the overhead costs. Link is in my signature line below.

Thank you. It's amazing the feedback I get from the guys who attend on how much the time spent on the mountain means to them. The most common theme being it is almost impossible to explain, just has to be felt.  ;)

I know that a few of you on this site have contributed to my gofundme without any fanfair on here.
Without betraying your anonymity, I wanted to express my gratitude. It is truly humbling when a (for the most part) stranger helps out.
Thank you.  :tup:

This is awesome. If you need any extra help next year at camp or doing administrative stuff to set it up feel free to let me know and I will gladly do what I can. I served and would love to help those guys out.
Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I donno, I sing in the shower? Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me-- no, don't sue me. That is opposite the point I'm trying to make.
