Human beings are not fragile. We are not made of glass, shattering at the first sign of adversity.

As we reminisce on the past year, we’re excited to share our ten favorite photos that truly capture the spirit of 2024's peak experiences in nature.

Currently, we face a staggering challenge: since January over 1,600 veterans have added their names to our waitlist and are awaiting the chance to apply to Built for More.

Meet Chris Beach, WQW Built for More program alum. Chris shares the story of his service, the struggles he faced after separating from the military, and how finding the Built for More program has truly changed his life.

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

No, that's not a typo. Those are titles for three different chapters in my life.

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.

We are thrilled to share the incredible news that our board chair, Sandy Stash, has been elected as a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE).

Seventeen years ago, on April 16, Warriors & Quiet Waters gained official recognition as a 501(c)(3) organization. Today, we rejoice in the history and the promising future of WQW.  

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.

WQW has equipped me with the tools to shed the weight of my past, and accepting their help has been nothing short of transformative.

Since being wounded in 2004 and medically retired from the Army, finding my purpose and learning to thrive with my “new normal” has been a long and arduous journey.

After my first Fishing Experience (FX) with Warriors & Quiet Waters (WQW), I knew I had found something incredible.

The original logo of Warriors & Quiet Waters is the seal of a dream to make the lives of post-9/11 veterans worth living following traumatic, and sometimes catastrophic, wounds sustained in combat.
