"My family and I cannot thank you guys and the organization enough for all the fun filled events, food and pure hospitality. We are beyond thankful and appreciative for the Warrior Weekend Organization. I wish I had recommendations to give you for improvements but I cannot think of any way to make this trip better. The hotel and staff were phenomenal. This locations is a must do for everyone. Restaurants, itinerary and flexibility were perfect for my family and I. I personally loved the downtime my family and I had but we also LOVED meeting everyone from the AMVETS Post#2, Jim and Karen. God bless you guys for what you do! This trip was needed so badly after all I have put my family through with my injury and medical needs. I really hope we all get to meet again!" Name: Master Sergeant Elsie Ortiz, Fort Belvoir "Thank you for this beautiful opportunity and experience. This was like nothing I've imagined; from day #1 I was welcomed by Karen who made me feel like a VIP. The hotel staff and accommodations were top notch, I give them 5 out of 5 stars! To the team, Karen, Kae, Tom, Jim & Buddy; Thank you for what you do as volunteers for the WW Program! It is appreciated beyond words. The activities were perfect and allowed time for families to do other things on their own. Spending an evening at AL Post 5 was priceless! I would not change a thing. I even met a 94 year old Korean Vet. Thanks, Tom & Kae! Again, forever thankful for this unforgettable experience. I had an amazing time and loved making new friends. God bless you all and God bless the USA! Soldier for Life! Name: Master Sergeant Jose Sanchez, Queens, NY "I have no complaints. Everyone and everything was excellent. Karen and Jim did a stupendous job coordinating and hosting the event. The hotel location was perfect and the view was wonderful! Thank you so much for this wonderful trip." |

"I would like to start my review by saying "Thank You" for everything you have done for us. From my personal experience, it was the first time to spend a weekend without worrying about booking, meals and schedules. Me and my family had a beautiful time during the whole weekend. Hotel arrangements, food/restaurant, flexibility were at the high level. Special thanks to Ms. Karen being kind and expressing sympathy to me and my family members when they were tired and needed some time to take rest. Keep doing what you do! This world exists because of people like you!" Name: Captain Alex Reding, Lancaster, PA "Overall, the weekend was beautiful. Check in was very welcoming. It was so nice to meet Gus & Karen. Both welcomed us. The room was pleasant and clean. I sank into the soft bed and slept for nearly 10 hours the first night. I've had such trouble sleeping so what a relief. My friend and I had breakfast in the dining room and sat by the windows so we could watch the water. The food was delicious and the staff was cheerful and accommodating. The first event with AMVETS 2 was fun. We sat next to Tom & Kae who were wonderful dinner companions. The second event we had lunch with Jim & Buddy. We had such a good conversation. I laughed out loud so many times - more than I had in a long time. I can't express the depth of my gratitude for your kindness, generosity and friendship. A suggestion for the future would be to offer a planned history lesson or tour of the area with one of the volunteers. Thank you so much for letting me come." |
Beautiful Rainbow Welcomes our Troops!!

The hotel was amazing, the restaurants were perfect and the itinerary was self-explainable. The boat ride was amazing and it was very relaxing. With this being my first time on a Warrior Weekend Trip, it was so refreshing to be able to enjoy myself along with fellow soldiers outside the Soldier Recovery Unit (SRU). I wish it was a five-day weekend. I really enjoyed myself and am looking forward to attending more events. Thank you, Buddy and Tom. You guys were very competent and friendly. You answered any and all questions. I even signed up with the American Legion. I can’t express how much this weekend was needed; mentally, spiritually and emotionally, Thanks again" Name: SFC Master Sergeant Daniel Landsperger "My family and I were very impressed with the organization. The itinerary was perfect for making a general plan for the day plus plenty of time to explore and enjoy. Everyone involved was incredibly nice and the general atmosphere was great vibes. Everyone is just happy to be here supporting the soldiers in recovery. Thank you all for putting this weekend together for us." |

"My family and I really enjoyed the ease of the weekend. The hotel being centrally located on center city allowed easy access to restaurants and shopping. The scheduled activities really made the trip that much more enjoyable. For my family and I, the overall weekend was a success. We greatly appreciate the time, effort and thoughtfulness that the Warrior Weekend Organization and the many partnering business put into creating such a memorable experience for my family and I. Along with all of my many brothers and sisters in arms at the SRU (Soldier Recovery Unit) Detachment at /fort Belvoir we are truly grateful for this wonderful experience". Name: Master Sergeant Rudy Flores, Fort Belvoir "My family and I cannot thank this Warrior Weekend Team enough for the hospitality and generous love, support and care for service members and their families. My family and I feel indebted to this organization. The hotel arrangements were great, the food and restaurants were perfect for the whole family. The itinerary was not overwhelming and the flexibility was more than accommodating. Overall, this was one of the most memorable trips we have had and we are so thankful. We Love you guys!!! |

"Thank you so very much for allowing my family to have such a wonderful and enjoyable weekend. Garth and Scott, Mike, Kelly ad Donna, you all were pleasant and hospitable hosts. I truly enjoy getting to know other families and the kids being able to enjoy the other kids. The aquarium was a wonderful outing for me and the children. NFL films is always an awesome tour to take. We ate good everyday with absolutely no complaints. I only want to share one issue. That would be the spelling of Philadelphia at the top of the paper. Other than that, this weekend was pure awesomness!! Thank you Warrior Weekend!!! |
