Darkhorse Lodge

Darkhorse Lodge We are raising the funds necessary to operate our combat veterans retreat in west Tennessee.

Once completed, there will be 5 guest cabins with 5 rooms per cabin, each room named for one of the 25 men lost from the Marine Corps 3/5, Darkhorse unit. When our 19 year old son, LCpl Alec E Catherwood, was killed in action on October 14, 2010, it felt as if the world had ended for us. After realizing that we had no choice but to go on, I stayed up nights, wondering what I could do for those who

did come home. Once I had the basics down, my very smart husband added some much needed improvements to the plan. Finding my new purpose in life has given me a reason to get up each morning and face the challenges ahead. We will need ALOT of money to get this built. 5 guest cabins, a staff cabin, a shower house and a dining facility (named for US Army National Guard, Specialist Tim Bowman, who committed su***de on Thanksgiving Day, 2005 after returning home from Iraq). Our employees will be combat veterans as well, including men who will take the participants fishing at one of the most beautiful spots in the south (oh yeah, we'll need boats and gear donated as well). Our cabins will be handicapped accessible to accommodate as many of these heroes as possible.

It will be here sooner than we realize! I can't wait!

Snow then ice then snow then ice....🥶
The trees out front have mostly recovered, but for one or two that lost a few feet off the top.
And now the melt begins. Sheets of 4" ice sliding off the rooftops. Maybe don't stand underneath. 😲
