“I recently had the privilege of hunting with Patriots and Heroes Outdoors, and it was nothing short of outstanding. Rod Jay and his team went above and beyond to create an environment that brought veterans together in a way that few experiences can.
From the moment we arrived, the facility, staff, and accommodations exceeded every expectation. The food was incredible, the guides were professional and dedicated, and every detail of the hunt was handled with precision and care to ensure our success.
But what truly set this experience apart wasn’t just the quality of the hunt — it was the camaraderie. Sitting around the lodge, swapping stories, and reconnecting with other veterans reignited that sense of brotherhood and purpose you lose when you hang up the uniform.
I can’t thank Rod and the Patriots and Heroes Outdoors team enough for what they do. This organization doesn’t just offer hunts — they restore connection, purpose, and community for veterans who’ve served and sacrificed.
Five stars, hands down. Highly recommended to any veteran looking to reconnect with the outdoors and with brothers and sisters in arms.”

“I want to express my deepest gratitude for your sponsorship and support during the recent dove hunt in Brownwood, Texas, organized by Patriots and Heroes. The opportunity to participate in this event was truly special, and your generosity made the experience even more meaningful.
As a veteran, I cannot overstate how much it meant to be able to get outdoors and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow veterans. The hunt offered a chance to connect, share stories, and find healing in the great outdoors. Thanks to your support, we were able to create memories that will last a lifetime.
I’m sincerely thankful to Executive Outfitters for not only helping us get out into the field but also for recognizing the importance of supporting our nation’s veterans. Your kindness has made a difference, and for that, I am truly grateful.”

“A Weekend I’ll Never Forget
I recently had the incredible opportunity to take part in a Patriots and Heroes event in El Campo, Texas, hosted by the Schicke Point Community. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing.
As we turned down that last mile of road lined with American flags, it brought a tear to my eye and warmed my soul. It was a powerful reminder that there are still people and communities who deeply honor and appreciate our nation’s veterans.
The Schicke Point community welcomed us with open arms—opening their homes, taking us out on their personal boats to fish, and treating us like family. The food, fellowship, and the Saturday night celebration were unforgettable. Special thanks to Kim, who coordinated everything so beautifully and made sure every veteran felt cared for and valued.
I also want to thank our boat captain, Jeff, and his first mate, John, for a couple of incredible days on the water. They made Eric and me feel like we’d been friends for years.
Patriots and Heroes gave me more than just a weekend of fishing—it gave me peace, joy, and a renewed sense of connection and appreciation. I’ll carry this experience with me for a lifetime.
With heartfelt gratitude”

“I have been involved with Patriots and Heroes Outdoors since 2010; I was in a very bad place mentally, PHO took upon them to take me and other veterans to the outdoors away from Doctors, Hospitals; just nature, it didn’t take long to start seeing the difference, I wasn’t so pissed off at the world, stress went down, overall feeling well all around. Thank you PHO.”
