For many Purple Heart recipients, the camaraderie of military life is something they deeply miss. At Sawblade Outfitters, that sense of brother / sisterhood and belonging is not only welcomed—it’s embraced like family.

Our recent hunting retreat at Sawblade Outfitters was more than just a chance to track game; it was an opportunity for our Warriors to reconnect, share stories, and find comfort in a setting where they are understood without having to explain or feel judged. From the moment they arrived, they were treated like lifelong friends, with warm hospitality, home-cooked meals, and a campfire atmosphere that fostered real conversations and deep bonds.

This is what Warrior Bonfire is all about—reigniting the camaraderie that was once second nature in the military and proving that “family” extends far beyond the uniform. At Sawblade Outfitters, our Veterans weren’t just guests; they were home.

A huge thank you to Sawblade Outfitters for making this retreat unforgettable and for giving our Warriors a place where they belong. The Bonfire burns brighter because of partners like you!
