Our goal is to show our veterans respect, honor, compassion, and above all, love for our fellow man through the fellowship and the excitement that hunter’s share each time we go hunting. Through this we hope to assist in their rehabilitation and re-integration into civilian life. With the help and support of others, Texas Hunters for Heroes strives to do our very best to contribute to the well-being of the veterans and provide them with the hunt and experience of a lifetime.
To honor, comfort and assist our PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and DAV (Disabled American Veteran) soldiers.
Take a Vet Fishing is a 501 (C) (3) not for profit organization that was created in 2011 to provide emotional support and rehabilitation to those who serve our great nation every day. The mission is simple, to show these men and women how much they mean to us and support them and their families with (emotional) PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and (Physical) DAV (Disabled American Veterans) outings and trips.
Our slogan is “A day of giving back” and is the core of our mission. When our brave service men a women return from overseas, as a nation, we have been failing to show these heroes our appreciation. A shockingly high number of service members are returning with injuries and even the soldiers without physical wounds are having a hard time adjusting back into the “real world”. These “Hero’s” have given so much of themselves for our freedom. Reaching out and offering a “Thank You” with a hand shake, is the very least we can do. At Take a Vet Fishing, we take it a step further. Not only do we show these hero’s our gratitude and shake their hand, we hand them a fishing rod and ease their minds back into civilization.
We assist communities at large to show their support for veterans and active duty military by sponsoring our Take A Soldier/Veteran Fishing events. These events honor our active duty military and veterans for their service to our nation and illustrate that our communities appreciate their sacrifice. Volunteers that support our fishing programs help make profound differences in active service members or veterans lives by providing a safe and positive outdoor experience.
We strive to serve all veterans and active duty military of all abilities and life situations. Our intention is to leave every veteran and active service member who participates in our events with a memorable experience that gives them pride in wearing their uniform, provides hope for their future, and a general positive outlook.
Special Ops Xcursions was formed by a small group of friends in 2012 at their hunting club in Tennessee. They were looking for a way to share their love of the outdoors with others, and through mutual friends within the Army (Green Berets) the first group of soldiers arrived September 2013 for their annual club dove hunt. The overwhelming success of that first excursion quickly rippled into numerous events providing all types of outdoor activities. Hunting for ducks, geese, turkey, dove, & small game. Skeet & sporting clays shoots. Fishing for crappie, bluegill, catfish, bass, and on the fly. Zip lining in the Smokies. Horseback riding. Camping & hiking. Instructional classes starting for handguns up to long range tactical shooting.
We offer active duty Special Operations Forces (SOF) service members a chance to partner with professional guides & volunteers in the general public for endless opportunities in the outdoors. Through small group excursions, friendships are established that will last for years to come. A daily limit or full tag are just a bonus to the experience. A weekend away pre or post deployment is crucial to team and family well being. The outdoors can be a powerful healer.
SOWW (Special Operations Wounded Warriors), a 501(c)(3) Charity, was formed in August of 2012 for the distinct purpose of providing outdoor experiences and focused therapeutic retreats to a select group of both active duty and veteran U.S. Military Special Operations Forces, that have received wounds (both seen and unseen) in battle or significant training accidents, most of which that have been awarded our Country’s prestigious Purple Heart Medal.
SOWW was founded by five individuals comprised of U.S. Military Special Forces Veterans, local businessmen, and avid outdoors-man. It was started for the intent of offering thanks and fellowship to the men and women of our Special Operation Forces who have sacrificed so greatly for our own personal freedoms and safety.
It is the belief of SOWW that we truly can make a difference in the life of a service member who has chosen to put their safety at risk while defending our freedoms and that has suffered personal injury in that endeavor.
SOWW feels that there is not a more deserving group of individuals than our Special Operation Forces members that frequently stand in harm’s way for the protection of our freedoms, often with little or no recognition.
These men and women pay not only a physical and mental price during their service to our Country; some have paid the ultimate price, for their fellow man. For those that return home, often with the never fading scars of their conquests, SOWW exists to demonstrate our Country’s appreciation for their efforts and contributions. It is our objective to help bridge the gap from military service to the enjoyment of the freedoms that they fought so courageously to defend.
