Activity 2

Remembering their sacrificemike ehredt, a retired postal clerk and army veteran, ran from international falls ,mn on the canadian border to galveston, tx to honor those us soldiers and marines who had died in afghanistan. Mike placed 2,140 flags that hold a yellow ribbon bearing the name, rank, service, age and hometown of those who had made such huge scrifices on our behalf. The flags were placed each mile along the roads he traveled in reverse chronological order by date of death, till the very last flag he planted in galveston, texas. This tribute is a silent memorial for those who have served with dignity and honor and whose sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Activity 3

Water sports therapy - paddling instruction and whitewater rafting instruction. Three different paddling instructional trips were arranged. One occurred on string lake in grand teton national park, and two were conducted on the snake river in the bridger-teton national forest. Individual instruction was given by guides to each veteran on how to paddle and maneuver the boat safely and effectively. Each veteran also had a guide as a paddling buddy alongside at all times. A large network of professional guides and volunteers were mobilized in order to make these trips happen. The guides donated their time and equipment for two of the paddling sessions, and we paid a greatly reduced fee for the third paddling session.
