CouesWhitetail Report post Posted June 3, 2014 Thank you Cliff! It was great seeing you and all the other vets at the banquet. What an honor to be able to spend the evening with you all. And I am happy to say that we were able to raise enough money to make sure that no vet who told me they wanted to attend was turned away. We ended up with 18 tickets dedicated to the vets and several CW.com members donated money to the cause to make it happen. Thank you to everyone who donated and attended the banquet! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjhunt2 Report post Posted June 3, 2014 Peg and I enjoyed talking with you Cliff at the banquet. It was so nice to finally connect you with DCS. It was an honor for us to meet so many vets and my hat goes off to you Amanda for making such a generous donation along with all the other members who donated to make for a great night. I believe there were at least 5 guns won out of the 3 cwt tables. Thanks Amanda for all you do. TJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lucky2hunt Report post Posted June 3, 2014 Cliff it was a pleasure getting to meet you in person and chatting for a bit. Roger really enjoyed reminiscing with you about the old Prescott, he remarked several times how great it was to talk to you! Hopefully we get a chance to visit again in the future...

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted June 4, 2014 I was very moved by the fact that one of the Vietnam vets told me that this was the first thing anyone had ever done in appreciation of his service. How is that possible that a veteran can go decades without being appreciated? I was shocked to hear that, but of course we all know that our Vietnam veterans returned to a country that was not thankful for their service. What a shame. The vets were glad to see that has changed for our servicemen and women returning from more recent wars. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
