Not often are spouses given a break to be truly taken care of and that break has made a world of difference in my perspective and view of the future.

The experience of being out on the river has been humbling and peaceful and we know that what we’ll take home from this experience will feed our family mentally and emotionally.

Words cannot express the gratitude for all you have done for me and my wife, and children. You all have made me want to be a better husband and father.

WQW is more than a place to just fly fish. It offers veterans a chance to connect with each other and create lasting relationships.

Success has historically been measured by freely offered alumni testimonials. In an effort to quantifiably measure the short and long-term impact of WQW’s therapeutic programs, WQW has developed a pre- and post-FX survey for participants under the counsel of Dr. Aaron Sawyer, clinical psychologist, and contractor for the Dept. of Defense.
