Review for Leek Hunting And Mountain Preserve Inc, Oswayo, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This review is dedicated for the LEEK Hunting and Mountain Preserve in Oswayo, Pennsylvania.

I am pleased to say that in my many years of volunteering, I have never met a more dedicated group of individuals committed to excellence.

As a veteran business owner in upstate NY I would have to say to my readers that if you want to understand some of the challenges facing our returning soldiers...volunteer at LEEK.

You will not only strengthen your skills at farming or preparation of game for that soldier who has spent one of the most incredible weeks of their lives hunting, fishing, socializing and only to realize that tomorrow is already here and it's time to go home.

You will quickly learn that preparing to receive 10 soldiers for a week long hunt takes many months in preparation. From the small outdoor shows to the major indoor events...Team LEEK is there, letting America know that they truly care.

More importantly, when you finally grasp a moment to visit and talk with those soldiers who have made sacrifices and listened to their story of how the visit to LEEK has impacted their lives...you begin to understand the significance of your efforts.

I have had the distinct honor of meeting hero's and their families, shared grief with those who have lost a son or daughter, seen an entire town come together to continually support what I consider America's finest outdoor recreational program for our wounded soldiers.

You won't find some commercial based program with penned animals who hover around a feeder, no expensive film crew to please wealthy supporters...you will only find a pure Pennsylvania hunting and outdoor experience provided by pure individuals who truly care.

I am honored to have served my country, more importantly, I am honored to serve those who have sacrificed.
