“Poise, professionalism, discipline, camaraderie, modesty, friendship, extreme national pride and of course seven fantastic rounds of golf. These guys were the real deal, and boy was it great to spend time with them. After two trips with Fairways for Freedom, I look forward to next year’s trip to Scotland. It is a small thanks we can give to these men and women for their inspirational service to our country.”

“It was an honor for me to spend a week golfing in Ireland with a group of impressive veterans. It was a wonderful privilege for me to get to know these remarkable men. We played some of the finest golf courses in Ireland, giving me the opportunity to forge lasting friendships with these American heroes who have sacrificed so much for our country.”

“I told [my doctors] that I didn’t have any stress at all while in Ireland. Stress is one of the main reasons I get seizures. While I was there I didn’t have one. I think it’s because it was a stress-free trip.”
