Free Hog Hunt for the the right vet
« on: June 05, 2010, 09:07:00 PM »
we (me, John3, djanko, Bel007) are headed to Ray's Hog Heaven for fourth of July weekend.

We've got room for more so in honor of Independence Day I am offering to cover the cost of the hunt and tag for one vet in particular need of some R&R. I need your help to find that person. I was hoping to find a wounded, physically challenged, recovering (not all wounds are physical) or deploying vet who will miss the hunting season among us tradgangers.

Please send me a brief description of the person (or yourself) who NEEDS this hunt (can't say deserve since they all do) most. If there are multiple vets I'll pick the one who seems to need it most.

Ray's place is flat, there are treestands and we can even set up a ground blind to accommodate any physical challenges.

Thanks for your help...

Well we will be honored with the presence of an Army Ranger. Below is a summary of his service.

Chris Surtees. He has 19 years of service in the U.S. Army.

Although not a wounded vet from weapons fire, he has some physical problems that have stemmed from his service in the U.S. Army as an Airborne Ranger.

He has taken on some hard assignments during his career. He is now serving his final tour of duty at Fort Benning, Georgia. However, he served as a Platoon Leader on the DMZ in Korea for a year. Served in Somalia for six months, and was the gunner in the rescue helo that brought back the remains of the news correspondents that were slaughtered. And his latest deployment was in Iraq where he served for 20 months. He earned 2 Bronze Stars while serving in Iraq.

He now has another worry on his mind as his 18 year old son, my grandson, is now serving in Iraq for a year long deployment.

But above all of his service to our Country, he has been a friend and ally on Trad Gang!

Chopx2 and everyone on this board:

Thank you for being different. When my generation came home (circa 1969) we had bags of dog crap thrown at us and were called "baby killers" Hell, we didn't start the war, just did our duty.

Our Military deserves respect and has EARNED it.
