Thank you Larry for your 10 years of hard work and dedication to Wounded Warriors. You created CPEAP and spurred on the creation of 200 new programs nation wide.

The Caisson Platoon Equine Assisted Program is no longer conducting lessons.

Since May 2006 CPEAP has served more than 300 wounded warriors and veterans.

This has been a wonderful program with the support of the Army, The Old Guard, The Caisson Platoon, Walter Reed NMMC and the NICoE TBI Clinic at Fort Belvoir.

We have enjoyed serving our wounded warriors and their families.

Thank you for your support and I hope you will continue to support our American service men and women.



Sincerely,

Larry Pence

Please take time this weekend to reflect on the sacrifices made by those service men and women who have given their lives in defense of this great nation so that we may enjoy our freedoms and way of life.
