Being out in the woods in that blind, watching the sun come up, watching mother nature getting started...the birds chirping, a bison walking up to your blind, some beautiful deer walking around...it helps you reflect and realize that your life isn't over. There is so much more out there for you. All i can say is 'thank you', even though they will never get to see the full results of their effects. What they do for you at the lodge will effect not only you but your loved ones, the people you work with, the other soldiers you're meeting with. You'll tell your stories of all your adventures here at the lodge, and it'll be a pinnacle point to help raise your spirits. All those doctors and nurses telling you 'no' was because they were trying to care for your body; here at the bowman lodge they're going to care for your soul. Later down the road in life you'll realize that they did so much more than just take you on a hunting trip." Ssgt. David jacks, 101st airborne div ...
