Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted August 1, 2010 Root Admin Posted August 1, 2010 It's becoming an annual event. Last year, we had a nice weekend of fishing and fellowship. It proved to be a healing process for many of the veterans who attended. We have a handful of fishing guides who are donating their time and talents but we need more anglers who would be willing to take a vet fishing Saturday, Sunday or both days. You don't need a boat - we have plenty. Unfortunately, we have no rooms left for the event here at the resort, if you're coming from out of town. We will feed you - breakfast, lunch and dinner. And you will have a good, warm feeling when you leave. So who wants to help? Post questions. PM answers.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted August 12, 2010 Author Root Admin Posted August 12, 2010 Thanks guys. It should be a great event again this year. We all were so amazed how much this event helped those guys last August. Just taking them fishing, being out on the water was the best medicine. Still have room for more anglers. Let me know.
Terry Beeson Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Phil... Take me off the list. I thought I was OK for that weekend, but will be out of town with the family for vacation. Hope all goes well. I KNOW the vets will have a great time there. You put on a great event for them last year!!! Anyone who can, should do this. It is a great way to show your thanks for the men who served and gave great sacrifice for our country!

Gatorjet Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 After just getting back from a week in Florida, and heading down Thursday for the Guns and Hoses tournament, I don't think I can fit in another weekend. If it is going to be the same time next year I'll mark my calendar. I would love to join in and take a couple of true Heros out for some trout fishing Gator style! Are you taking donations for fly/lure boxes again this year? Glad to donate. Real men go propless!
