My guests today are two guys that I recently connected with on social media
– Richard Charlton of Damascus Waterfowler and Phillip Armstrong of Delta
Snows. Both Richard and Phillip super passionate duck and goose hunters,
but both are medically disabled veterans who are also passionate about
connecting and helping other veterans. Richard’s Damascus Waterfowl Club is
located in southern Missouri and Phillip is an outfitter with Delta Snows
located in the Mississippi Delta focusing primarily on snow geese and
specs. Richard is also on staff with Fallen Outdoors which is a fantastic
organization that connects past and current military service men and women
with other service men and women through hunting and fishing. Phillip is
partnered with DTD Outdoors which is a land management organization in
Monroe County MS that also provides hunting opportunities to children as
well as disabled veterans. When I spoke with Richard and Phillip, we talked
about how veterans are uniquely qualified to help other veterans, and in
doing so, actually wind up experiencing healing themselves. We talk about
Their combat experience in Afghanistan, Richard while serving in the Army
and Phillip in the Marine Corps. Then coming home, the challenges each
faced, how they attacked those challenges and then channeled their energies
into helping others. It was a really inspiring conversation with two
warriors who served this country and are now serving others. I want to
thank them both for their sacrifice and service.
