And the final part of the June 2011 warrior story....

Wrapping up our journal on the first of our Wounded Warrior programs... so here is the rest of the story-

Recap:

Friday night, Jerry Biesenbach, Chief Chef of the best fajitas you ever put in your mouth;  Mike Blakely, providing his wonderful Texas music; Phil Bob Borman, Cowboy storytelling and music:

And here are two special gals who contributed Saturday morning:

Margaret Fletcher and Donna Lafferty, artists-  set up for a Saturday morning watercolor session for anyone who wanted to learn to paint while waiting for breakfast...

Every man, woman, and child present chose to learn to watercolor.  Donna and Margaret are amazing teachers and tutors.... nobody wanted to quit!

And Breakfast was pretty darn cool, over a campfire with Cowboy cook Jay Jones...

Then on to LBJ State Park for a free fishing trip, transportation donated by Stonewall Baptist Church:

Saturday afternoon began with the skeet shoot... then another amazing dinner hosted by Cowboy Chef Steve Sweeney, music by TJ Broscoff, and ending with an amazing starry night...

Sunday morning breakfast: thanks to Gene and Lyn Winkler, Steve and Diana Honea, and others:

The Honea's after Sunday morning serving up breakfast...

Sunday morning Service for Warrior families:  Thomas Michael Riley provided the music along with Randy Brown.... Thank Goodness, because I can't carry a tune in a bucket!

Warriors, families, and musicians on Sunday morning

Lisa Ellerman was here to share an inspirational message...

And wrapping up with a hayride before heading back to Brooke Army Medical Center and home for the families....

And a good time was had by all.

Thanks to all involved, including those unmentioned who gave time, donated money and food, hands and hearts... You all know who you are and this could not have been the success it was without you!

And to our readers:  America is not lost... there are those who are defending our rights and privileges.  And there are those who support our warriors.... there are those who want to be a part of giving back to  them and their families who have sacrificed so much to ensure our quality of life... and there are those of us who - when reminded, are grateful for every day, every moment we have the opportunity to make our own choices...

We are a people whose ancestors cherished freedom to worship, freedom to choose our own paths, freedom to raise our children in a safe environment, freedom to begin our own businesses, to work where we choose, to lay our heads down in a home of our own....

Let's not let these things slip away... forever we should stand to uphold our Constitution, forever we should support our Warriors, forever we should not forget those whose families are sacrificing their own security to ensure ours....

God Bless our Warriors, and God Bless America!
