I just returned from a memorial service for fallen soldier MSG Ben Bitner. There were hundreds of his Special Forces brothers there to pay their respects. Ben was a senior team Sgt. for ODA3236 while on this deployment. What a fitting tribute to be surrounded by these Green Berets all through the crowd. I asked myself while listening to the playing of Amazing Grace on bagpipes, what have I done today in the name of Freedom? I ask all Americans, what have they, or do they do in the name of Freedom? I’ll tell you what this young man did…he gave his life. He leaves behind a loving family, a wife, 2 young sons that will not truely know what a great warrior and dad he was. All of us at Patriot hunts give back when and where we can, but it is still not enough in comparison to these brave souls. Today was very sad, it was very humbling, and at the same time I was absolutely proud to be there in that moment in time to witness this brotherhood amoung warriors that I have seen so many times at similar memorials. I tell you all who may read this..please, please take the time to thank a soldier when you can, stop them whenever and wherever you have the priveledge to do so. I promise you will be the better for it.
I love this soldiers and all they stand for, and I am very grateful for the Freedoms I have today, whcih is paid for by the blood of others. This debt I can never repay…God Bless our Military.

Patriot Hunts will be honoring our fallen heroes by creating a “Wall of Honor” on our web site with photos and stories from the Gold Star mom’s and wives remembering their loved ones.
These families will never forget this terrible sacrifice that has been made in the name of Freedom..so we as “Free American’s” must never forget…so we pay tribute to those that served.

So much of a supporter that he founded Patriot Hunts which takes wounded Soldiers and children who have lost a military parent hunting and fishing.

Three times during our conversation, Ken Barnard had to stop talking. He’d shake his head, drum his fingers on his desk and purse his lips. He wouldn’t let himself be overcome by emotion, but his sentiment showed itself in his glassy eyes.

“Sometimes it’s hard to talk about,” he managed to say. “These guys are just so inspirational. It really does make me a better person just being around them.”

Barnard was talking about the Wounded Warriors, active and retired soldiers, and Gold Star Families he’s come to know over the years. He’s spent time with them at cookouts, banquets and even in hospitals. But he prefers to get them into duck blinds, shady lakeshores and deer stands.

Barnard is the founder and president of Patriot Hunts, a nonprofit organization, which provides outdoors experiences to soldiers and their families. It’s his way of serving those who serve. And it all started with a few hunting trips

The pheasant shoot at Allen Brothers Preserve was a tremendous benefit for me and my family. Having just returned from nearly a year down range I was very appreciative for the Allen Bros setting up and hosting such a first class event. The work the Allen Brothers Preserve put into this event allowed me and a lot of other service member to introduce our families to the fast pace Pheasant Shooting and also provided a place for service members to see how appreciated they really are.

Thanks Again Allen Brothers Preserve and Ken Barnard
