United Special Sportsman Alliance, Inc. (USSA) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit national wish granting charity that specializes in sending critically ill and disabled youth and disabled veterans on the outdoor adventure of their dreams! USSA adventures give our youth and veterans something to look forward to, and help sustain them in their time of need!

USSA is composed of a 100% volunteer staff from all walks of life, bonded together by a common love for our fellow mankind and a deep respect and appreciation of our world's natural resources. By working cooperatively with caring "Adventure" donors as well as generous individual and corporate sponsors, USSA has made a significant impact on the lives of thousands of children, disabled veterans and their families. The public's image of all sportsmen is enhanced, through this valuable community service and new lifelong friendships are made! To learn more about USSA read on.
NormaNormington - USSA Humanitarian Committee
 My dad was brought up in the wilds of Mexico where my grandfather owned & operated a silver mine. The family tangled with Pancho Villa the rebel general of the Mexican Revolution who invaded US territory and led American soldiers on a wild goose chase all over the harsh Mexican countryside for months.
They traveled out of Mexico on horseback for two weeks, finally arriving in the states. (They had lived on crackers and deviled ham.)
My dad eventually became an army colonel, a career diplomat. My mother was a teacher and a public speaker.
As an "army brat" (and proud of it) I lived all over the world with my parents and sister. As a child my Dad insisted that I become an expert equestrian as well as a riffle sharp-shooter! I did and I loved it. I married Lt. J.J. Normington II who came home from World War II with two purple hearts and three air metals. Jay and I graduated from the University of Wisconsin and later raised two beautiful children, Peter and Patty. Jay taught all of us hunting and fishing and after a career as a C.P.A., Jay and I started Saddle Mound Cranberry Co. Inc.
In addition to teaching math, English and geography at Madison East High School, I found time to function as Secretary of the University of Wisconsin Alumni as well as serving on their Board of Directors.
Regretfully and sadly I am now a widow and my children and I are running our cranberry business alone. Our land allows us to fish and hunt to our heart's content!
I was thrilled to be included in the millennium edition of, "Who's Who of American Women." One of my favorite hobbies is functioning as editor for United Special Sportsmen Alliance and taking part in local events.

Living A Dream At Wilderness Whitetails
 Few people sacrifice more for their fellow American servicemen and servicewomen! During this Christmas season of giving we would like to share two heartwarming stories where our nation's sportsmen and women say a heartfelt thanks to those that have faithfully served our country!
As an active duty service man, Chad's job requires him to leave the family he loves and cross the ocean to serve our country. It is doubly tough for Chad, since his son Joshua is battling a life threatening illness. With his redeployment in the near future, Chad and his son Joshua attended a trophy buck hunt at Wilderness Whitetails in Rosholt, WI. Joshua harvested an awesome buck scoring 184 7/8 the afternoon of November 6th! Undoubtedly the memory of this tremendous buck hunt will warm the hearts of both father and son during their time apart while Chad serves active duty.
 At Wilderness Whitetails, the spirit of giving was still at work, as their family would like to say a very heartfelt thanks to Ned Seath another true American service man hero. Ned received 4 Purple Hearts, the Bronze Star and the Navy Cross in his highly decorated service to our country! As the sun was setting on September 26th, Ned harvested a beautiful buck scoring 174 5/8.
Wilderness Whitetails has certainly gone beyond the call off duty in their ability to bring quality deer hunting trips to those children in need and veterans who have helped make our country the great country that it is!
As a member of a profession that preserves outdoor memories, Dean O'Brien of the Minnesota Taxidermy Guild is mounting Joshua's buck. Ned's buck will be mounted live on stage at the Michigan Taxidermy Association Convention in Grand Rapids, MI in March 2012. We at USSA would like to thank all the donors who helped make a difference in the lives of these servicemen and their families! God bless.
Bio-Tec Research
 Our primary mission is to positively affect the recreational and commercial deer industry as well as our national hunting and fishing heritage. We believe solid scientific conservation principles must be applied in order to preserve our wildlife resource for the next generation. As past history has confirmed; a joint effort of both the recreational and commercial deer industries will provide the best solution for tomorrow's generation of hunters. In addition, hunting, fishing, and farming of all kinds have suffered unprecedented attacks from animal activism. We are committed to silencing the shrill, uninformed voice of the animal extremist who stands in the way of our vision. Bio-Tec's mission is to promote, unite and facilitate that vision to the best of our abilities and resources!
