veterans, who were badly injured while serving their country.

lodging and catering, Summit ATR is donating the snowmobiles,

sponsorships are by local restaurants and volunteers are pitching

in, a Camp Patriot press release stated.

The activity includes snowmobiling at

Olsen Creek in the Bridger Range of Gallatin National Forest as

well as in the Big Sky area.
