I really enjoyed the rucking and history lesson. I also appreciate being in the company of the horses because they sense the negative & positive energy. Plus it helps to learn how to deal with different peoples personalities.

The whole day was amazing! I loved the hiking, being in nature, team building & I loved the horse farm & learning about equine therapy. It was great to see the impact that this day had on the veterans, especially as part of their treatment program.

Enjoyed today, the whole experience with fellow veterans – the equine therapy was great. I would love to come back again.

I really appreciate all of the hospitality and love that has been shown to me. God bless everyone who made me feel like I’m special, thank you guys.

Good Afternoon and Happy Holidays,

From the outset, I have to express my deepest appreciation and my warmest thanks to you for all you do for Ed Thompson.

I have received the very generous and timely gift of $50.00 gift cards.  It has been an incredibly difficult time for our nation and even more so for some including the veterans at ETVP.  The gift cards will go a long way in helping the vets have a happier holiday.

Thanks again,
