It’s Mid-Week for the Wounded Warriors on Bonaire

With their week on Bonaire passing quickly, the Wounded Warriors have only a few more days to enjoy the island.  On Wednesday, they spent the day diving, before enjoying dinner at Patagonia Argentinean Restaurant.

The men began their day with a morning dive on the wreck of the Hilma Hooker, a 100’ dive at the southern portion of the island.  After lunch, the men jumped onto the boat at Captain Don’s Habitat for a second dive.  All of the Warriors are working on their PADI Advanced Open Water certifications, and these dives were part of that course.

For dinner, the men and their escorts were transported to Patagonia Argentinean Restaurant, where the Palacios Family awaiting them.  This is the third year that the restaurant has been sponsoring a dinner for these special men in order to recognize the sacrifices which they’ve made for their country.  When this reporter left the Warriors, the biggest decision of the moment was whether to order the Land ‘n’ Sea (fillet mignon and shrimp) or the 23-oz. prime rib!
