My name is Clayton Younts, a Navy Veteran and volunteer with TRR South Alabama.  Being involved with TRR has been an inspirational and humbling experience.  From the weekly classes to the actual river trips, I have been encouraged by the challenges my fellow veterans and non-veterans overcome.  On our recent Chickasabogue Creek Paddle I had the opportunity to bring my family along and see fellow veterans challenge themselves and allow others to help them along the way.  This is wonderful to see!  These individuals have taught me an unbelievable amount and I have built friendships that inspire me in so many ways.  TRR has provided an amazing experience for me and my family and we have thoroughly enjoyed being involved with such a wonderful organization.

M y name is Katherine Younts and I am the wife of Navy veteran, Clayton Younts.  Being involved with TRR South Alabama has been a wonderful experience for my family.  When we first got involved, I was pleased to know this was something we could do as a family.  We have been able to go to many events even with our 19 month old son.  My husband, as a veteran, has been able to connect with others and develop friendships, all while developing kayaking and leadership skills.  It has been wonderful to see veterans helping veterans all while showing my son what team work and helping others looks like.  TRR has been a genuine group of individuals that truly want to help veterans grow and heal from their time in service.  We look forward to many more years of involvement with such a wonderful group of men and women!
