As we continue our meet the mission: Meet Ashley! She is the only one of us that understands how to do more than surf Facebook on a computer! She is a powerhouse on bringing Forces & Fire into this century. Without her we would be a bunch of knuckle daggers stumbling through every year.

Ashley is so selfless. She opens her home to veterans,board members and land owners and treats everyone as if they are family. She goes to work everyday during the hunts then spends her evenings entertaining and putting up with all of us.

There are no words for how special she is to Forces & Fire and we can’t thank her enough for all the time she volunteers. We also recognize that living with Jeremy has its own challenges. He only has a year to get things done.

And last but not least she is the absolute brains and heart of this operation. Thank you Ashley, you will never know the full impact you have on the veterans!
