SFC Marion Rendonvera"Thank you so much for the amazing trip. The restaurants were awesome. The river cruise was very relaxing and enjoyable. The whole trips was wonderful but the best part of the Warrior Weekends is always the great volunteers who make the trip with us. This trip we were blessed with Bob and Sandy and Chuck and Joann. These people make us feel welcomed and relaxed. Thank you for the program."

SPC Kevin Carmen
"I would like to start by saying thank you. The whole trip from start to end was planned perfectly. All the food and the Phillies game were amazing. Thanks to your help, I am able to cross that off of my bucket list."
SPC Jose Sanchez
"Thank you for a wonderful weekend.. I really appreciate what the program does. I had an amazing weekend with incredible people. I cannot think of any way to improve the program except to have more weekends. There are many, many others who could benefit from what you do. I would like to see them come back to the base with a smile on their face knowing that there are people who care. Thank you for your time, effort, dedication and commitment to look out for the new generation of vets."
MAJ Pierre Larkin
"The trip was amazing. The staff was great and very helpful. They made everyone feel like family. The meal was extraordinary, the baseball game was great and the NFL Film Studio was beyond comparison. Thanks for a great weekend and amazing experience."

MSG Thomas Finn
"PERFECT WEEKEND! This was my first time away from Ft. Belvoir. I was initially concerned that it might have been stressful but it was actually quite relaxing. It was well planned, the baseball game, the NFL Films were awesome. I also enjoyed Friday night's dinner, Valley Forge and the downtown sights. Maybe next time we can see the Liberty Bell for us history buff's. The staff was perfect at all times and I felt part of their family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
CPT Henry Nieves
"Thank you for a great weekend away from the stress of Ft. Belvoir. It really was a relaxing weekend surrounded by a small group of warriors. Thank you again for your service, support and everything you do for the warriors. Everything was excellent."

SGT Conchita Corbin-Nicks
"My husband, daughter and granddaughter were fortunate to be a part of the Warrior Weekend to Delaware. We want to thank you all for a well-planned weekend filled with events and activities. We enjoyed all the members of the Warrior Weekend program who participated in this outing. I hope to do this again. My family and I have not been together like this for two months. Thanks again."

SSG Jonathan Meadows
"First and foremost, this weekend was a very much needed weekend away for not only my family but more importantly for a much stressed out soldier. Thank, we enjoyed every second of the weekend. The relaxed and understanding atmosphere made all the difference in the world. We hope to enjoy more time in the fall before our time in the Army at Ft. Belvoir draws to a close. Thank you for everything. Suggestions on how to improve the program, NONE. Y'all are so wonderful and generous. We cannot thank you enough."

SFC Francis Pena
"I can truly say this has been one of the better events while I have been assigned to the Warrior Transition Battalion. The welcoming reception was more than I expected. You guys have helped make me feel very welcome and appreciated for my service. I wish the rest of America and our government would do the same."
SGT William Davis
"I cannot think of anything that you all can do to make this event any better or improve it."
SPC Donald Wolski
"I loved this weekend and meeting all the bikers was awesome. This is the best weekend I have had. Meeting all the nice people was pleasant. I would refer this again thousands of times. I feel so relaxed and calm. The train and boat ride was very pleasant. All the interaction of us and other people and the vets touches me deeply. I will never forget this weekend."

MSG Ernestine Carter
"I had a very, very good time with everyone. I would love to come back again. The support and love was truly felt. I have not ever been so highly honored. The sites and the food were just fine and the love was grand. I will always remember this trip and I would not want you to change anything. Someday, I want to be supportive of an event as big as this to someone else like myself who have never been honored, but to honor someone else."
SGT Conchita Corbin-Nicks
"The weekend was well planned out to the point that the whole town chimed in and waved us welcome to Kingston, NY. For areas of improvement, I'm sorry but the whole weekend was great as planned. When you sponsor the next group, don't change a thing. The motorcycle families represented were also kind and honorable. I felt like royalty. I am proud to be part of the American Military Family. I will look up the American Legion in my town and support their endeavors to ensure our troops are appreciated."
