Through the leadership of wounded warrior, SSG Josh Kinser, the MWSF life skills retreats have hit record levels. The retreats have been conducted at nearby ranches in South Texas as well as trips to Colorado, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Florida and Iowa. Ken Eakes, Executive Director at the Foundation indicates, “Josh’s leadership skills, combat experiences and understanding of the troops has allowed us to go to new levels of connecting with the troops involved in the Life Skills retreats. The mentoring is an important component of everything we do, because the reality is the trips are not just about a good time, but about connecting to the issues and steps beyond the trips”. The Fall outings have included fishing and hunting, Spring and Summer plans include the addition of golf outings as well. Ken further says, “The game of golf allows the warriors to participate on a life long basis in a great game that can be played with practically any disability the troops may have.”
