This year, Oak Heart Lodge partnered with Warriors & Quiet Waters to host program alumni for four weeks of fully supported experiences.

The alignment between the two organizations was immediate.

“We had a very positive experience with WQW,” they said. “Our missions align perfectly. We’re honored to host their alumni for four weeks this year.”

When Warriors & Quiet Waters launched the Built for More hunting, we knew that finding the right partner to provide packs for the Warriors was critical. Serendipitously, one of the leading hunting pack manufacturers is just down the block from us in Bozeman: MYSTERY RANCH.

Produced in partnership with Outlaw Partners, this video captures the essence of what Warriors & Quiet Waters is all about. It’s not just a highlight reel—it’s a window into the purpose, people, and outcomes that define our mission: to guide post-9/11 combat veterans to find peace, purpose, and belonging through our Built for More program.

As we step into the vibrancy of spring, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead.

On the last Monday of May each year, Americans pause to remember and honor our war dead. It’s a fitting tribute for those who sacrificed all that they had – and ever would have - in service of something bigger than themselves: things like the honor and safety of their comrades; their mission; the legacy of their unit; the sanctity of our National Ensign; and the security of our Nation.

WQW’s Alumni Council met at Quiet Waters Ranch in March to plan for the year ahead. WQW asked partner Sage Lodge to prepare a special dinner to thank the council for dedicating their weekend in service of the WQW Alumni.

WQW’s new Board leadership is comprised of a diverse mix of national industry leaders that will help guide the organization’s capacity building and strategy to maximize its impact on post-9/11 combat veterans.

WQW Alum and Guide, Jordan, had a once in a lifetime experience exploring the Preserve and the surrounding Lee Metcalf Wilderness, and seeing various forms of wildlife, such as elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, and a wolf.

Reflecting on Warriors & Quiet Waters in 2023, three words resonate profoundly: Mission, Vision, and Values.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the well-deserved promotion of Jesse LeNeve to the position of Director of Program Operations.

I grew up in Malta, Montana, and graduated from the University of Montana School of Pharmacy in 1996.

If you’ve been following our organization for the last year, you’ve seen Warriors & Quiet Waters has been striving to do more for more – all to increase our impact on participants and their loved ones.

A Note from WQW's CEO as we look back on 2021.

COVID-19 will continue to impact us through 2022. No matter what arises from navigating this pandemic, we will continue to put Warriors first, always.

Caregivers have the tools to help Warriors through the residual effects of war: Susan Ziegler is one of these hidden heroes.

You saved my life. You helped me feel joy and peace. Our family feels whole again. WQW will stop at nothing to help Warriors and their loved ones rebuild themselves.
