One passion leads to another and when Charlie Sammut's friend and dive guru, Frank Degnan invited Charlie to go scuba diving one day to film a project he was working on with wounded veterans, Charlie was both honored and thrilled to participate. After an incredible day of diving, the veterans involved returned to Wild Things with Charlie to polish off a day that would without a doubt, have a very lasting effect on all. Justin Bond, is the founder of "Our Hero's Dreams", a form of "Make a Wish" program for wounded veterans of which he is one. He is who brought Dave Riley to fulfill his dream of scuba diving once again. A month later, Justin returned to Wild Things to share his experience with his wife Laurel. We hope all will visit www.ourheroesdreams.org where you will hopefully find a way to support Justin's and Laurel's efforts. Charlie and Heather intend to make the animals Wild Things as much a part of the program as possible for it is questionable who finds it more rewarding, the veterans or them. |
