No Warrior Left Behind recently brought a group of seven veterans and law enforcement officers to Patriot Point for an overnight retreat that included a duck hunt.

“We hung out the night before with [Patriot Point General Manager Hugh Middleton] – a lot of war stories and joking around,” said Aaron Bailey, president of No Warrior Left Behind. “It was such a great trip for everyone in the group.”

Everyone was up early the following morning for the duck hunt, then enjoyed a hearty breakfast.

“Just want to extend my extreme gratitude for the opportunity to take this little much needed getaway,” guest Bryant Strong said. “Everything ran super smooth, and I really enjoyed meeting new guys and sitting around the fire in the Main House sharing stories and laughs.

“The hunt in the morning was amazing despite the gnarly wind. It’s nice having the guides be LEO because it’s one more thing that makes the experience great because it made the trip more relatable and to meet fellow brothers in blue. The mallards were icing on the cake.”
