Weight Watcher Fundraiser a Huge Success

Weight Watchers Fund Raiser a SuccessAbout 300 people got up early on a Sunday morning to participate in the 2011 Weight Watchers Walk It Day to benefit Warrior Vacations.

The walk took place in Northeast Florida’s Fort Clinch State Park. Their natural canopy of trees was a perfect setting to get in a 5K before the day grew too warm on Amelia Island. Children volunteered to pass out cups of water while Pirates gave out beads to participants as they walked, ran, jogged and strolled past. Continue reading

A Much Needed Vacation

Girls playing in the surfGreetings from Folkston, GA!! My family and I had the awesome opportunity to take advantage of one your vacations so generously offered. We just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to the owners of the property we spent our time in. This was an unexpected gift that we stumbled upon, and it was a much needed vacation. It is so nice to know that there are generous, giving, and kind-hearted people still left in this world.

We endured a lot stress and worry while Brian was deployed to Afghanistan, however, we are grateful for the experience. Mainly because it taught us the importance of family and good friends, but also, it gave us an extreme sense of pride and honor for our wonderful country! Continue reading

We Did Not Want to Leave Amelia Island

Swimming PoolDear Wendy and Warrior Vacations,

It is hard to believe that it is nearly December and close to the anniversary of my husband’s return from Afghanistan. He came home to us right before Christmas, and after all the hoopla of the holidays and the visiting of the relatives, we had to throw ourselves into preparing for a move from Virginia to Georgia. I had planned for us to take a week at Myrtle Beach, but that was before we knew we were moving. We did go, but my poor husband had to drive down to Georgia first to get the new house keys, and he had to interrupt our vacation to go back down to open the house for the movers. We cut our week short so that we could have a day in the new house before Continue reading
