"My experience at the hotel was great! The food was delicious at both the AMVETS and at Zoggs! I would not change a thing about this weekend. Everything, absolutely everything was very well coordinated. I had an amazing time. I can’t ask for more, you all go ABOVE & BEYOND to make us feel special. I love the flexibility offered and how smooth and relaxed the agenda went. But most important, I got to see all my FRIENDS AGAIN! Thanks for flipping my frown upside down Jim! Thanks for loving us and for such an amazing program! God Bless you all! Look forward to seeing you again while hosting a paint party for the Warrior Weekend Program. Love you all!!!!" Name: Staff Sergeant Connie Barlow "To begin with, let me say THANK YOU!!! In my opinion, there is no reason to express anything but gratitude for: the hotel arrangements, the food at the hotel (thanks for the cookies), the meal the restaurant provided for me, the itinerary that was provided for me, the flexibility, which was what I needed to rest. In my opinion, the scheduled activities that were set up, lunch and dinner were perfect. How can someone improve a weekend that was PERFECT? Thanks again for everything. I appreciate everyone that was involved. God Bless You" Name: Sergeant Laura Greico "The weekend was amazing. Communication was excellent. I appreciated the fact that someone had already checked everyone in at the hotel and every event had a great atmosphere. Nothing bad to comment on my end. This trip was much needed and very appreciated. Thanks again: Jim, Buddy, Karen, Tom, Ron, Kae, and everyone else involved with this weekend." |

"The hotel arrangements were fantastic – great location, room was comfortable for two people, had all the essentials. Having parking was a plus as well as the generous funds for food/gas and tolls. The food at the hotel was delicious and filling. The décor made it a wonderful experience. The food at the restaurant was very tasty. The only improvement I would suggest would be to introduce us to the new faces. It was unclear if I should have initiated contact or wait to be introduced. The itinerary and flexibility are a sustain. It allowed me time to either relax and/or site see at my leisure. Meeting at the AMVETS was very humbling and very thoughtful of Jim to introduce us. This was the first time since being back in Kuwait to have been thanked for my service. If there was to be a scheduled activity, perhaps it would be a meet and greet ice breaker activity. Overall, I give this weekend 5 out of 5 stars. My mom enjoyed herself. We both walked the beach and were thankful to spend time together. It brought back childhood memories from Trinidad. Thank you for planning this trip. It was by far the best highlight of being a patient at the SRU. Although I have been to Delaware, I have never experienced Rehoboth Beach. I have a goal to either go someplace new or experience something new every year. With this Warrior Weekend, you made this possible. Please, if I can be of service by volunteering virtually, I would be honored to help you continue thus wonderful mission. Thanks again for providing a refreshing, relaxing and comfortable weekend for myself, my mom and my fellow teammates." Name: First Sergeant Teray Bundy "The weekend was amazing.

Name: Master Sergeant Christine Simpson
"This trip was absolutely amazing! Buddy and Tom really care about soldiers and their families. As I retired this week, this will probably be my last trip like this. I am honored to have spent my time on this trip, with these people and this organization. My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously." Name: Master Sergeant Chris Havermale "A huge thanks for the Warrior Weekend Program! Tom and Buddy were the perfect hosts. I want to express my sincere gratitude for a wonderful trip to Chincoteague. I cannot think of a single thing that would make it better other than I wish more people could enjoy this experience. Perfect weekend included the hotel, hotel staff, group size and a family friendly schedule." Name: Sergeant Abigail George "You guys did an excellent job. You make the soldiers and their families feel so exceptional. We had a comfortable stay at the hotel. Breakfast was excellent. I think that you guys let us know that you are so much interested in your soldiers. The soldiers work hard and get wounded, but doing this often makes them feel that you care for them and they can come and relax and enjoy and take the stress away. Please continue to do this more often. Mentally it is good, socially and spiritually it is very good." |

"First off, I would like to say THANK YOU from the top of my 8 to all who are/were involved. Even though there are a lot of soldiers could have been picked for the trip, I am thankful to have been picked to enjoy these for days. I had a great time. I had a lot of laughs. I enjoyed the company. All of the establishments we ate at had the best customer service. There is no need to complain for such an exciting time with the parade as well. There is no need to complain about nothing! Thank you again and God Bless Everyone!" Name: Sergeant Laura Greico "We had an absolutely wonderful time!! The hotel was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious and convenient. Our only complaint was the hotel never made the beds, but we didn’t really care. Being on the water was especially nice. The boat ride was actually magical and the crew we worked with were fun, professional, informative and clearly passionate about the area. What a phenomenal experience seeing the ponies so close! Getting to choose our lunch sandwich was a nice perk too! Buddy and Tom were so kind and friendly, going above and beyond. It was apparent they have a passion for soldiers and their families. They connected with us like we were family and that meant so much. This trip was just right with the amount of planned activities and plenty of free time. I also liked that the email shared some options of what to do with the free time, so the research was already done. The Island Creamery stops daily were a lot of fun!!! Great recommendation, what a treat. Felt like a kid!!!" |
