HOOAH uses 100 percent its revenue to support veterans and their
families. They are made up of all volunteers, many of whom are also
veterans. A portion of the HOOAH mission is to provide outdoor
activities and other social events to wounded veterans, which
enables them to rehabilitate both mentally and physically.

"As I visited with Jared, John and others engaged with this great
mission; it touched me so deeply the good they do for the wounded
veteran’s and the uplifting impact they make on a veteran’s life and
the lives of their families," said Carlock.

Carlock talked with the two about the Deer Hunt for Heroes in
particular. She was shown two of the group's track-chairs, used to help
transport hunters into the wooded areas for the hunting event.

forward-deployed servicemen and women, their stateside families, and returning
veterans with a high level of understanding, compassion, and empathy. We operate
with 100% volunteers. We do not pay any staff or members of our organization.
