I wanted to thank you for an incredible and memorable weekend. I knew it would be an awesome and emotional experience but it exceeded every expectation I had in every way. Combat Marine Outdoors is building something very special and impactful for both those of us who want to support our Marines in any way possible and for the Marines themselves.

Although I am currently deployed to Afghanistan, my great
appreciation for the service you are providing to our Wounded Warriors is greatly appreciated by all of us! Thanks for all you are doing to keep their morale up! I cannot begin to tell you how honored I was to be Combat Marine Outdoors’ host at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on Wednesday. It was truly humbling for me to meet those young men who gave so much to ensure my freedom and way of life. Each and every one of our young heroes deserve so much more. I hear from time to time someone talking about an experience that is “life changing”. And now I can say that I definitely have had one. Throughout the event on Armed Forces Appreciation Day, I learned what is all about to be of service to your country and what sacrifice is. Too much of my life has been consumed by attempting to meet my own needs. My volunteering for that committee is something that will change me and the way that I look at our country and its Armed Services forever.
From listening to the story from Micheal Thornton to watching the World War II veterans shake the hands of the young folks , I was moved by the power of that day. And nothing was more powerful than being able to spend time with the young men from Combat Marine Outdoors. I can’t wait to see the guys again so don’t forget to send me the details for your event at BAMC in April. I really would like to attend. Thanks again and I am already looking forward to doing it bigger and better next year. Inspirational…. David told me over the phone as he was driving home. It was awesome to hear him so much on fire about it. This weekend will have an everlasting impact for both of us and we are grateful for it
Navy Marine Corps Relief Society Combat Casualty Assistance Program Visiting Nurse My sincere appreciation for the opportunity to serve as an escort for the recent Devils River Trip. I have now seen, first hand, the full measure of value these trips provide to our service members in the great outdoors… in an environment of warm hospitality, genuine camaraderie, and purposeful activity. It was readily apparent that your attention to detail, careful selection of location, and skilled control of the environment facilitated opportunities for healing far exceeding those available within the conventional health care setting.
I am honored to be a even a small part what turned out to be a memorable weekend. The welcome aboard PA by First Officer Rick Childers set the tone for the flight and Flight Attendants Nancy Martin, John Cloud and Kim Crane showed everyone why we truly are the “Luv” airline. A couple of phone calls and a few radio calls to Nashville Operations is all it took for the people of Southwest Airlines to honor the four young men with a “Budweiser Welcome”. All five of us were amazed at the reception in the terminal and honored to be a part of what became an “Welcome Home” for these four Marines who paid a price for the freedom we enjoy.
The Y.O. Ranch Hunt went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. Thank you for your generosity, Semper Fidelis!
This past weekend was a life changing, memorable event for all of us. Your kindness is beyond compare. Words simply can never express the thanks we have for being able to go into the outdoors and experience this incredible hospitality.
Thank you for inviting me and including Brennen on the most unique experience we have ever attended outdoors. Brennen and I both grew stronger as a father and son team this past weekend and he discovered who actually pays for our FREEDOM to hunt and fish together. Steven May was a blessing to our family. Brennen feels Steven is his new big brother. Jeremy and Josh touched us with their jokes and fun loving attitudes. Chris, Gunny Breaux, and the rest of the crew gave us a deeper respect for what all Marines and Soldiers do for us plus the sacrifices they made and are making to protect our freedoms. Brennen and I would like to thank the Cliburn Family for opening up their historic ranch to CMO’s festivities. We also took in a neat lesson on Texas History about Calhoun County cattle ranching with the Cliburn’s posted pictures and maps not to mention the evolution of cell phones display case. Brennen didn’t know what a bag phone was and had never seen a bag phone. Now that is dating technology.
wanted to thank you again for including us in the Military Appreciation Night at the rodeo. We had fun and I know Anthony enjoyed it. AJ hasn’t stopped talking about it and it was just nice to be able to take my boys out and share in an experience like that! It’s sometimes hard for us to go out as a family and it’s really nice when we get the support from everyone that was there to help. I also wanted to thank you for including a ticket for Anthony’s nurse. I would have loved to stay longer, but sometimes it gets a little overwhelming for Anthony to be among so many people. I can’t thank you enough for being so awesome to us and Marines everywhere. What a great thing to do for our Marines! God bless you and keep up the AWESOME work!
