Name: Sergeant First Class Derrick Brooks
"We had an amazing time!!! From the moment we arrived at the beautiful hotel, The Boardwalk Plaza, the warm greeting from Karen and Jim and the entire Warrior Weekend Group, reset and recharged ourselves. Not only did this trip allow our soldiers to do this, it allowed the entire family also. We are forever indebted to every volunteer who took the time out to make us feel so blessed. We are forever grateful to the people who gave so freely for this to happen. Thank you. God Bless you, and please keep up the great, selfless work that you do. IT IS APPRECIATED!!" Name: Staff Sergeant Pedro A. Rentas "Overall, we had a great time!!! Thank you for everything. The hotel was very nice, the staff very friendly, and the food was very good. We loved our get together as a family. Everybody was very friendly. We had great conversations and we laughed a lot. The places that were recommended were amazing!! The beach and Fort Miles were our favorite. If you asked the children what their favorite was and without a doubt, they would say Lefty's. Again, THANK YOU!, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" |
Name: Sergeant First Class Arron Pry
"Thank you for an incredible long weekend. It was amazing! It was amazing to enjoy the luxury with my family and dad. The Warrior Weekend group were so nice, and the Italian food place was delicious. Lefty's was fun but we were not able to do the ax throwing because they were filled up throughout the weekend. Maybe next time a few time slots could be reserved for the group. Overall, this was our first trip to Delaware and definitely will not be our last. Thank you again and hope to join the group again in the future. We live in Buffalo, NY. Let us know and we will give information for a trip to Niagra Falls. Thank you and God Bless!!" |

"WOW! This weekend was everything that my family needed. Your organization has thought of each aspect and covered it in full. The welcome packet allowed us to manage expectations and plan what we wanted to do. We were in communications early to answer any questions. The timeline was fantastic! Thursday arrival allowed us to decompress and relax. Only having the cruise and dinner scheduled made for a relaxing weekend, but gave enough structure an community. This was perfect. Thank you. I can not say enough. My family needed something like this for months and I know my team is in the same situation. This gave us a chance to decompress and recharge so we can better take care of our soldiers. Again, THANK YOU." Name: SSG Shannon Timmerman "What a phenomenal weekend and I can't thank you enough. We had a blast and would like to do it again. It was the right amount of organized activities and free time. The boat cruise was our favorite." |
Name: SSG Robert Coe
"My family had a great and relaxing weekend. The cruise was a fantastic ride with an enjoyable guide. The hotel was fantastic with a little dock to do a little fishing. We had ample time to go out and enjoy ice cream, little shops and the beach. The restaurants had delicious food. We wouldn't change anything on this trip." Name: SSG Frederick Hink "We had a lovely time at Chincoteague with the Warrior Weekend Program. We can't put into words how much your generosity means to us. Thank you for your expertise and devotion to make sure we had a good time. Job well done!!! The boat ride was great. The Village Restaurant the better restaurant and the weekend was perfect." |

Name: Nyatan Bol
"I had such an amazing weekend in Philly. Jim and Joe were so kind, inviting and gracious. It was really nice to visit a new city and meet other service members. The first day I was here we took a bus tour of Philly. I sat near Joe and he shared so many cool insights about the city and gave suggestions on places to visit and sights to see despite the rain. I had a great time! Later that night we had dinner with the whole group and shared stories, reminisced and enjoyed being together. It was a lot of fun, an after several months of isolation because of COVID, I really enjoyed the opportunity to get out and meet new people. I'm so grateful to the entire Warrior Weekend team for making this weekend possible! Special thanks to Jim and Joe for everything. I really appreciate it!" Name: Mark & Zaneta Sheldon "To Warrior Weekend, my wife Zaneta and I would like to extend a big thank you. Philadelphia was a beautiful city and we may have never seen it without you. The memories made here will forever be cherished by our family." |
Name: Michelle Friend & The Greatful Friend Family
"The special things that took place for the wounded warriors and families. 1. Jim and Joe kept in touch for our ETS and met us outside when we arrived. 2. Had good knowledge of the area to help. 3. Made sure we were taken care of in general. 4. Jim and Joe spoiled us with dinners! They were amazing! 5. Both Jim and Joe on this trip have made us feel more appreciated for what we have been going through. They have reminded us of why we have served in the first place. Thank You!" Name: Jesse Haubold "The trip was amazing. The location was perfect and in easy walking distance from most attractions. It was a great time of relaxing and spending time bonding with other wounded warriors and their families. The only improvement I have is time and location of changed from the paperwork . This caused a small amount of confusion for those of us with bad memories. All in all, my daughter and I had a great time and were blessed by the chance to go on this trip." |

Name: SFC Robert Pierce
"Great getaway with family. Great location with lots of things to do near by. The room was spacious and comfortable. Pool was cool but hot tub was relaxing. The park was very enjoyable and the AACA Museum was amazing. Thank you for a great weekend getaway with my daughter. This is a weekend we will never forget. Dinner was terrific and was a good time at the Englewood." Name: SFC Robert Coe "My family and I had a fantastic time and are grateful for the experience that the Warrior Weekend Program and staff has given us. The trip to the hotel and their staff was considerate and welcoming along with Garth and Scott. They were very helpful and kind in which they went over some of the restaurants in the nearby area, a rundown of everything that is available, and what other activities that we could do as well. Friday my family and I spent the whole day at Hershey Park riding almost every ride that they had and I was ble to see my family smile and forget about the stressors back home. Saturday my family went to the park again for a couple of rides and then went to Chocolate World in which again my family had many smiles at the tour, the enlarged candies, and everything else that was offered. We had to turn in early Saturday, but we still had a great time. Sunday, we were able to get into the museum that was located next to the hotel and was amazed at some of the beauties that were in there. There were many trucks that my family stopped to look at and there was even a scavenger hunt in the train display that they had. Overall, we are again grateful for everything that was offered to us and will not forget the great time that we had." |

"We are just so very grateful for the Warrior Weekend Program and everything you provided for us this weekend. We cannot thank you enough for the continued love and support you showed us this weekend as well as all the other service members you have blessed over the years. This weekend was truly a blast! My wife and kids loved the time we had together away from normal life. The added bonus was getting to enjoy Hershey Park. What blew us away was the additional support and outreach you provided with the amazing dinner and spending funds. You are are amazing and it really makes me proud to serve and help do my part to protect a country with amazing citizens such as yourselves. Your generosity challenges me to do more! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your love with my family and I. It really means a lot." Name: SFC Marcos Rios "Thank you so much for an amazing weekend. You have truly blessed us with a great vacation. My family and I are really grateful for this experience. We had a great time at the park and at the restaurant. The hotel was very conveniently located close to the park and the stores my family and I needed. Thank you so much." Name: SFC William Weinburgh "This has been a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

Name: SSG Christopher Fisher
"This was awesome. I am surprised more people didn't sign up for it. The whole trip was delightful. I can't wait for the next one to come around. Thank you for your attention to detail and all of your hard work to make this happen." Name: SFC Derrell Riddick "Pros: Structure of activities and communication was very good, during and before each event we were texted the plan for the events. Hotel accommodations were seemless with checking in. Restaurants were very accommodating. We did not have to wait for seating. The boat ride was totally awesome which provided history of the island. I personally feel the exposure to a hidden gem of the location and the community helps me to feel the support as a vet/service member. Maybe options for kid's activities and if there is any control of the timing for dinner having it before 6 pm (only if the option is available)." |
Name: SGT Quintis Reese
"This trip to Chincoteague has truly exceeded our families expectations. We were just expecting a simple getaway from home. However, this has truly been a fun-filled memorable experience. From the accommodations to the food, all the outings and activities, we have more than enjoyed ourselves. The Reese family really would like to say a sincere thank you to Buddy and Tom, when both made this experience 10 times more than what we could have imagined. Truly makes memories for a lifetime, whole heartedly. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Name: SSG Jisung Kim "Our family's decision to come here was by far the best decision we have made. The Warrior Weekend representative leading the group were professional, friendly, humorous and passionate of their duties and we couldn't have asked for better people to lead the group. Our family had a loving and unforgettable experience thanks to the Warrior Weekend Program and we would without a doubt take the opportunity to be a part of this program again. Honestly, this trip was very well planned and executed and I wouldn't know what else to add to make it better. If I had to choose, I would add activities like fishing.... Than you for the unforgettable experience for our family Buddy & Tom!" |

"The hotel arrangements made for my family and I were amazing. They made our stay wonderful with any help we needed and questions answered. Victoria's food and staff have 5 stars from us! Time efficient and delicious! Hats off to the chef! The itinerary was perfect being able to sleep in then participate with our group later in the day was amazing. I wouldn't change anything with the activities. Everything was perfect and family oriented. To be a family of 6 and the kids were with us, couldn't have been more comfortable than we already were! My family and I are grateful for being able to come on the trip at the last minute. Nothing made us uncomfortable. I can't wait to see you again soon!
