Testimonials

​“I had a chance to participate in the U.S. Veterans' Rowing & Kayaking program this summer where I went kayaking for the first time. I can now see why my friend is in this program: a wonderful and relaxing experience which has recreational and therapeutic aspects to it. The staff are well-trained and experienced... A superb lunch with grilled barbecue chicken, watermelon and soft drinks... A wonderful transportation crew of DAV volunteer drivers... and of course, all the other military Veterans who were there to encourage and support me throughout the day. I highly recommend it for anyone who is having any medical problems and are seeking a natural, holistic approach to their healthcare recovery. Thank you Paul for being a gracious host and inviting me!”
- Charles Hope, Veteran and former NFL Offensive Lineman for the Green Bay Packers (1994)
