Mesothelioma Information

Countless veterans are currently suffering from life-threatening illnesses that are a result of exposure to asbestos, a material that was commonly used in hundreds of military applications, products, and ships primarily because of its resistance to fire. Pleural Mesothelioma.com is a one stop resource on all pleural mesothelioma issues including mesothelioma life expectancy if you’ve received a mesothelioma prognosis.

Hunting with Soldiers

Hunting with Soldiers is a non-profit organization based in Paducah, Texas with the sole purpose of taking Soldiers and Disabled Veterans, returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, hunting for free. We also have a house that we put the Soldiers and Disabled Veterans in for free when they come to hunt. We feed them and everything for free. The only thing they have to pay for is the fuel to get here. We believe that getting these Men and Women back out in the outdoors is the best Mental Healing that can be offered. We believe that these Men and Women have paid enough in blood so therefore we do not feel we need to charge them for what we offer. Since we are a Non-Profit Organization, we are funded strictly on donations, which are Tax Deductible. We are working under a 501 c 3 status. The reason we are writing you is to ask that you help us support our Troops by making a monetary donation to our cause. Anything helps. Keeping supplies as well as all bills for the house and all needed to keep these Soldiers and Disabled Veterans coming and able to have a wonderful time and relax and heal mentally is very expensive. We have a total of 4 places for these Men and Women to hunt with a total of 5 deer stands as well as 5 deer feeders which we keep full year round to keep the deer and hogs as well as other wildlife coming so the Soldiers and Disabled Veterans may have a successful hunt. Most of our Deer stands are wheel chair accessible and the 2 that are not we have a pop up ground blind that we can set up to allow the Wheel Chair bound Disabled Veteran to be able to hunt that area also. If you have any questions please feel free to call Gordon Melton (creator of Hunting with Soldiers) at (806) 346-7248
