“…I went there with my eyes closed and my heart hurting, full of anger, and so tired of everything and when you called me to the table you said to me, “tomorrow you are going to be with me the whole day, so don’t worry about anything”. The beauty of the surrounding mountains and the sound of your voice melted the coldness inside me. …I am sitting in my room writing this letter to you and tears are rolling down my eyes, but of happiness, thinking of everything I did and felt and saw. I just want to say thanks for saving my soul and giving me back the love and kindness that I lost. God Bless You, you truly are a messenger that God sent to save me…” |
| “The Vail Veterans Program helped my whole family. We had our first real vacation since my injury. My wife and kids received well deserved attention from everyone involved in the Vail Veterans Program because they realize how much the family also sacrifices. I can’t put it in words to explain how good it felt to see my family enjoying life after I all most lost mine.” |

“It really is the best kind of therapy.
It teaches you how to live. It helps you adapt to your new life, whatever it may be.”

| “The Vail Veterans Winter program is the best wounded warrior program that I’ve had the pleasure of participating in. You can quickly tell that it’s a community sponsored event by which the whole community and their volunteer spirit help wounded warriors and their families heal. It is very well resourced and professionally run — it sets the benchmark for how these kind of events should be run.” |

It is amazing to watch the Veterans change after their experiences in Vail. They are smiling, enthusiastic, and motivated! They return with a refreshed outlook on life!”
