A New York Environmental Conservation Officer was honored recently for organizing a "Wounded Warrior" turkey hunt in St. Lawrence County last year.
ECO Joel Schneller, a U.S. Marine Corps Reserve combat veteran, successfully planned and coordinated a “Wounded Warrior” turkey hunt in St. Lawrence County.
Due to his efforts, a myriad of donations were secured, and participants in the hunt were provided free lodging, food, and even hunting gear.
After five months of preparation, the event was held on May 21-24. It was well received by the veteran hunters as well as the sporting community, and publicity of the event in media outlets such as the Outdoor News helped to bring attention to the challenges wounded veterans face.
"ECO Schneller’s efforts in organizing and participating in this event displayed a special and outstanding level of achievement, allowing the Division of Law Enforcement the honor of enriching the lives of these veterans who have sacrificed so greatly to make our country safe," the announcement of his award said.
