Retired U.S. Army Colonel Shawn Daniel grew up chasing mallards in the Arkansas timber, and after eight combat deployments with the Rangers and a stop in the corporate world, he’s come full circle. Today, Daniel leads Darby’s Warrior Support, a nonprofit dedicated to introducing military special operators to the traditions and healing power of duck hunting.
In this powerful episode, Shawn shares how the camaraderie of the duck blind offers space for combat veterans to open up about their stories and struggles—before, during, and after those unforgettable Arkansas sunrises. It’s an emotional reminder that the impact of this sport reaches far beyond the harvest, fostering connection, purpose, and healing for those who’ve sacrificed so much.
