Rob Loniewsky didn’t know what to expect when his neighbor, a 75-year-old veteran, asked him to spend a day at the Wings of Freedom pheasant hunt near Morley.

“He’s been going for a couple years,” said Loniewsky after downing a grilled burger with fellow veterans, law enforcement personnel, and first responders. “Honestly, I came because I thought it would provide a good time to spend with him.
