POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Patrol Base Abbate’s Golf Club brought 27 veterans to Thompson Falls, Montana, for another successful Return To Base built around a shared passion for golf, service, and community.

For 3 days, participants played the beautiful, serene, and truly magical Rivers Bend Golf Course, surrounded by the mountains and quiet of northwest Montana. They spent an afternoon kayaking and paddleboarding the tranquil waters of the Clark Fork River and came together for a meaningful service project.

But, as always, the most important part of RTB happened after the activities ended.
Each night, participants gathered around the campfire and began opening up, sharing stories, experiences, challenges, and laughter with a group of people who, only days earlier, were strangers. A common interest in golf became the foundation for something much deeper: trust, friendship, and community.

27 golfers arrived at Patrol Base looking for an experience and left with something far more meaningful, a renewed sense of community, connection, and purpose.

Thank you to everyone who made this RTB possible, and especially to the 27 veterans who took the chance, embraced the experience, and trusted PBA enough to drop their packs behind friendly lines.

This is Return To Base.

As part of the research for the book I’m writing, I’ve been interviewing veterans from different backgrounds to better understand how childhood, family, belonging, and life experiences shaped the decisions that led them to serve, and the lives they’ve built since.

@berserker_skate_co ‘s Tim DeMaio, a Navy veteran, shared these words:

“If there’s one thing I hope people understand, it’s that resilience doesn’t mean you’re unbreakable. It means you keep moving forward even when your heart is broken.”

As we soon approach the one-year anniversary of the loss of his wife, those words carry a weight that’s difficult to put into words.

Thank you, Tim, for trusting me with your story. It’s an honor to help preserve it.

In loving memory of Tabitha DeMaio ❤️
