MISSION STATEMENT:
Veteran Outdoors is a nonprofit organization whose
mission is to honor our country’s wounded veterans’
patriotism and their sacrifice by providing quality
hunting, fishing and outdoor related activities. VO’s
goal is to raise public awareness about the therapeutic
effects that being in the outdoors actually has on the
mental and physical disabilities of our country’s
wounded men and women. We will also provide a platform
for veterans to tell their own stories in their own
words
OUR LONG TERM GOAL
is to create a therapeutic/educational retreat on a
dedicated ranch for veterans and their families.
Veterans could bring their families out to stay in
several cabins, we would have a pond to fish, teach game
and cattle management, at no charge to them. We will
also stock the ranch with several types of exotic
animals to provide picture safari tours for the family
and this ranch would also serve as the headquarters and
base for Veteran Outdoors and all hunts here in Texas.
Over the past 3 years, Veteran Outdoors has taken
wounded veterans on their dream outdoors adventures.
These adventures have been all over the United States,
including, Alaska, Texas, Wyoming, and South Dakota. The
adventures have ranged from hunting and fishing, to
camping, to taking families to baseball games. We work
year round to make the dreams of our veterans a reality.
Host, Wes Higgins is a veteran of the US Army and has
served in Iraq, Kosovo, Macedonia and Kuwait. Wes has
served in many of the same situations as the guest
veterans. more
