Those 9 people climbing to summit of Colorado Mountain had been the combat veterans having fought in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Most of them were aware of the pain caused by bullets entering the flesh. Many others were unable to gather the memories that had been blown away through an explosion.

The Colorado Mountain had been occupied by a crowd of strangers, who were very slow as far as trust was concerned. They had come to Outward Bound Wilderness School located at Leadville. Their journey to the Colorado Mountain consisted of 5 days. On their journey’s 4th day, which was in the month of July in the year 2007, after >3 hours of rigorous climbing up the moss-covered, steep scree fields beyond tree line, such hard military personnel’s, between the age group of 23 and 52, mourned at a height of 13000 ft. above the sea level over summit of peak of Virginia. They had been completely stripped of the routines of life, standing under the iron-gray sky in morning and ultimately allowing tears to be shed for the friends who couldn’t se the place again.

Mr. O’ Rourke, who was a veteran of Vietnamese origin, held back his tears. Men following him had been silent while looking out across those vast bowls of granite speckled with ancient mine entrances amidst the evergreens. Silhouette of the Huron Peak seemed to be very imposing. It stared back through southwest. Utmost care is taken of the people pursuing the Outward Bound Courses.
