Do you want to do something great for a Purple Heart Recipient? Bob Paschal does and he does. You can help him or get in contact with him if you know a purple heart recipient you'd like to get to participate in a pheasant shoot. Bob stopped by my office today for a visit and I helped him out just a little. He wanted help with a letter to mail out to seek sponsorship for these Veterans. You see Bob runs a foundation dedicated to helping this young veterans. Why? Well because he's walked a few thousand miles in their shoes.
Bob, center of photo served 5 tours in Korea and Vietnam. Today while visiting at my office he shared that sometimes he never even knew where he would be flying on his next mission. Today he does know what his mission is and I know it's my and My Donald's missions to do what we can to support our wounded service members as well. So today I put together some address labels and a saved a flier in .pdf for Bob to go and get printed to mail out in hopes of getting some sponsorships.
The pheasant shoot will be in October and you can help too. Bob's organization "Americans Helping Wounded Veterans" is dedicated to helping those who have been wounded in service to our country while protecting our freedoms. I hope to get to actually go this fall to meet some of the veterans who participate. Not long ago I attended a benefit concert. I was actually honored to meet a medal of Hon or recipient at that concert.
If you know of a purple heart recipient contact Bob Paschal at 478-836-5816 to find out how they can participate. He'd love to meet them and share this wonderful experience. He's been doing this for years and years. If you'd like to help you can certainly do so by mailing a donation (any size donation is wonderful and welcome) to Americans Helping Wounded Veterans P.O. Box 531 Roberta, GA 31078. I'm going to share with you some photos from the 2011 hunt that I hope will inspire you to donate. I can't think of a great cause that makes a difference in our daily lives... for all of us.
Please, if you would consider helping sponsor a purple heart recipient who has sacrificed SO much to protect our freedoms. Help give them this opportunity to have this weekend together, to be together and have a little fun. Thanks for your consideration.
All people in this organization are volunteers. No monies are paid to administrative persons. 100% of all donations support Purple Heart Recipients. Bob has told me he'd be happy to open the books and share the bank statement with any donor who would like to see it.

Hi Tammy, I was never much into hunting, but I certainly want to support and endorse these purple heart recipients. I will get a donation in the mail this week. Thanks for Sharing.
Thank you Jerry. I am not much of a "hunter" myself, but I do plan to try to attend with my husband this year. I hope that we will find some way we can be of benefit to someone who has given so much. Veterans, as you know, are near and dear to my heart as I'm the daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin and wife of men who have served.
This is a great thing that they do here. Our area does a lot with getting the vets out fihsing.
Wow, those pictures of the men who have given so much. Anyone who supports these folks is certainly a hero in my book.

Tammy, what a wonderful person Bob is! I just reblogged to help spread the word.
What a wonderful idea. Of course I will help out and of course reblog...How cool that Bob is doing this and Soldiers who have been in wars are able to truly relate to one another. There is nothing like that bond.
Vern- that's a nice get together thing too.
Cal- he is indeed a hero
Andrea- thank you so much
Brenda- Bob has invited my Donald for just that reason, knowing he will feel a bond with these guys. I'm so excited to doing a small part to help.
Hi Tammy, we need more Bobs in the world! This is just a great blog, thanks for letting us meet Bob Paschal and know about this wonderful event for our soldiers. Sometimes I really don't know what to do, but giving to "Americans Helping Wounded Veterans" sounds like a good place to start!
Tammy, I'm supportive of any recognition the wounded veterans can get...just wish they were shooting targets or clay birds.
Mary- I feel so honored having met him. He's quite the character with LOTS of stories.
Mona- Clay would not make a good cook out food at the end of the night :)
Hi Tammy - thanks for this great post and great opportunity for them to bond, and to support them as well.
thank you for sharing this ... good to see organizations help those that served our country
What a great idea. You need to get in touch with a local VA hospital! If you can't get in and get a list, I know a retired VA hospital Director. He can point us in the right direction.
Thank you for posting this blog! I'll forward the link on to the owner of my company for more purple heart recipients. Here in the Phoenix area we sponsor the Sentinels of Freedom, so we are probably maxed out on donations. I just donated yesterday when I closed on a short sale! Good for you for helping him out!
There are many worthwhile NPO's and this is certainly worthy of America's support, so thank you so much for bringing this organization to our attention.
I think those who honor our returning troops, both wounded and not, (often a matter of inches) do a deed worth honoring.
What a great post. There are so many people in this country doing big important things in their own small way. I will pass this along.
Great article! Tremendous service to our nations "Real Heroes".
"The Protected Never Know the Price of Their Freedom." Those Purple Hearters do,..
Thanks for your service!!!
What a fantastic event! Very worthy cause to celebrate. Thank everyone for their service and for all you do and have done for our country!
Hi Tammy, that you for sharing. I don't know a Purple Heart recipient, but my best friend is a Paralyzed Veteran. Marine shot in the back in a liquor store holdup.
Last year, I gave my son a $20 bill to go hand deliver to a Purple Heart recipient that had just got out of their vehicle at the grocery store. (He had the special purple heart license plate).
My 17 year old son stands about 6'2 and had hair down past his shoulders so when he walked up to the Veteran, he didn't know what to expect from my son. He was shocked when my son asked to shake his hand and tell him thanks for his sacrifice to our country. He was even more suprised when my son handed him the $20 and told him to take a friend out to lunch or for a beverage!
That was the best $20 I spent last year!
Thank you for doing this to honor fellow Vets. Hope you great success in 2k12!
