 Wounded
veterans St. John VI to Jost Van Dyke kayak trip
Last weekend veterans of Iraq, Afghanistan
and Vietnam, along with their wives and guides kayaked from
Cinnamon Bay on St John to Ivan's Campground on Jost Van Dyke
in the British Virgin Islands. This is quite a formidable journey
in kayak for anyone, let alone for these guys who had lost
their legs in the service of their country. Their dedication,
sense of humor and positive attitude was a true celebration
of the human spirit. Check out these images and
the video of
the beginning of their adventure. |
