Patriot Point recently welcomed Brian, Maureen and their two children for a weekend visit. Maureen is a commissioned officer in the Air Force and was injured by a roadside bomb while serving in Iraq. The kids, age 4 and 7, had a great time canoeing, playing on the beach, fishing from the pier and going out on The Excellence II with Patriot Point property manager Tim Mitchell.

“Their comments to me included, ‘That was the best vacation ever,’ ‘We don’t want to leave,’ and ‘When can we go back?’ ” Brian wrote us. “My wife and I also appreciated the relaxing environment Patriot Point provided, the tremendous experience that Tim allowed for, and the quiet time, away from distractions, with our family.

“We are so thankful for Patriot Point and for the sponsors who allow it to function. It has provided my family with a well-needed respite and an enjoyable vacation.  We are also very thankful for Tim.  He enhanced an already enjoyable time with his personal interaction. He helped fix my son’s brand-new fishing rod, which was apparently malfunctioning out of the box, and took us on a great fishing trip in the Bay.”
