Dear Walker Family,

     I’m very sorry that I could not this year make your acquaintance at the second annual Wounded Warrior fish fry.  It was indeed every bit as good as last year minus the fine company I shared with you great folks.  I once again appreciate your hospitality in allowing me the privilege of hunting your fine ranch.  I killed a WONDERFUL 8 point buck.  I cannot express in words what it means to me and those like me the freedom and solitude a little time at your ranch does for us.  You have a fine bunch of guys on your lease too.  They all treated us like family.  We did get to spend some time with your son Rick and his daughter.  It was very good to see him again if only for a short time.  I hope this letter finds you both in good health and great spirits.  God Bless you both.  I am forever grateful for what you have done for me and my fellow Wounded Warriors.

Sincerely Yours,

SGT (RET)Criss E. Dougherty

 Walker Family & Larry Brock I want to take the time to write you and say thank you. While I was only there for a few days it was memorable hunt. Not only that, but I appreciate the opportunities that you all provided to fish, and above all to just relax and unwind. All in all thanks to everyone down there I was able to have a great time for the fist time in a very long time. Again I say Thank You.

Dear Mr. Hoke,

Now that you've gotten to know me, you know that it's impossible that I'm the one writing this, but I've gotten my wife to write this for me, and these are my own words. The Hero Hunt was a surprise to us, yet also very exciting. You made it a new and wonderful experience for us. Thank you for being so calm, collected, professional, and most of all, alert of all of your surroundings, and I really appreciate that. We met great people there, as you know, the Walker family is amazing. They are so down to earth and very humble. If I had to rate our accommodations, I would give them ten stars, the facilities were that awesome. This email is just mainly to thank you for all that you've done and the time you have taken out of your busy schedule to do this for us. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that you have given us, and my wife, my son, and I can't thank you enough for it. The Hero Hunt is such a wonderful service, and greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much.

Sincerely,

BMI Jim "Boats" Castaneda, Retired USN
