HIBERNIA – The sun wouldn’t rise for another four hours, but the kitchen inside of Hibernia Christian Church was buzzing with activity early Saturday morning.
As eggs fried and coffee brewed, Thomas Jenkins pulled his wheelchair up to a table and flipped through photos of past hunts. For the last decade, volunteers with Hoosier Hunters Helping our Heroes have brought dozens of veterans to the Clark County community. Many of those veterans are disabled, struggling with physical ailments as well as the emotional scars that can stay with them well after leaving the battlefield.

James Lee Haynes of the United States Army, who was reported missing on Dec. 7, 1963, and declared dead on Dec. 8, 1964. The sisters, who were a year and a half old when their father disappeared, were at a site called Little Bolt that Friday morning as the search got underway.
