2nd Annual Wounded Warrior Hunt

Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana Six wounded EOD technicians from across the military branches, recently enjoyed a weekend of camaraderie and hunting on the Barksdale Air Force Base during the second annual Barksdale Wounded Warrior Hunt. The event was organized Bill Lee and led by his team, volunteers, and sponsors.

The event is organized around the idea the being outside provides healing in an atmosphere of solitude and reflection, while also providing the wounded soldiers with an opportunity to tell their stories and get a break from hospital rooms and therapy.

The men were joined throughout the weekend by members of the base Natural Resources office and the 2nd Civil Engineer Squadron EOD Airmen and leadership.

While they reportedly only brought back a few deer, the men enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect and relax while gaining a distraction from their rehabilitation and participating in activities they had not since they were injured.
