Givin thanks for services rendered - fishskibum - 10-20-2019 [url]https://projecthealingwaters.org/ [/url] once upon a time to the best of my recollections I ingested some shrooms, watched Red Dawn and woke up in fort benning ga, with sheep shears removing my hippie locks and mean people screaming and belittling me in a manner id be shocked if they still were able to do to todays special snowflakes. Turned me into a dog face solider and I spent a couple of fishless years driving a bradley around Deutschland, consuming bier, chasing fraulines , pullin guard duty on gorbys wall fore ronbo raygun and the Hof made him tear it down, and pretty much whatever the uncle said you were gonna do that day. Until youre all that you can be or 0 days and a Private Frickin Civilian wake up So the op to give a lil sumthins back to them using one of the things that shaped my lifes and gives it meanings not real hard. I guess its been a few years now and a good dozen or so outings and ive had a chance to share a passion with a wide variety of vets Were pretty blessed that a benevolent land owner lets us use his stunningly awesome spread and exercise his fish to help achieve our mission of healing those that served. im not a big fan of hero shots and I should maybe remove some faces but they are heros and I don't mind sharing a few from the last one bent sum whippy sticks for the va busses rolled in a young man came up and asked to pet sheldon said hes got a 7 yo saint at home well ive been wearing a st b medalion round my neck for a couple decades of alpine travels now and hes my patron saint guy i like it when the dogs line up and sharing with those you feel connected to is easier good kid ,11b, got to do a lot of stuff i wanted to do 10th mountain ft drum then ft carson co, dealin with substance abuse issues well welcome to the piscatorial pursuits of flyflingin addiction it can consume yur time and make the bank fly outta yur wallet fast for a never ever picked it up fairly fast and well if excercisin big bows in a stunning location on a banner fall day doesnt jack the dopemines hugely and leave you desiring mur well theres other addictions, hobbies, and activities substances and ways to spend times in life he stuck a good bakers dozen by lunch which bought cheers of healin goods to those involved feel free to thank a vet, donate a few duckets flies or gear you don't need or voli yur time, to help heal for a person responsible for freedom protection [signature] Re: [fishskibum] Givin thanks for services rendered - dubob - 10-20-2019 [size 4][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]If there's a finer way to spend a fall day, I haven't found it.

My son started out in the 100st Airborne and now is a Green Beret stationed at Carson. He has made several trips to the land of sand as well as other hot spots around the globe (like Germany []. He was hit with some shrapnel in one little engagement in Afghanistan and ended up with a Purple Heart. He has been given a free hunt for Kodiak bear in Alaska if he wants it. And he goes right to fishing to decompress after returning from a deployment. Anyway, I sure do appreciate how you are helping vets and wish you the best in all you do. And keep those posts comin'.
