Fishing With Veterans
July 25, 2020 We will be pairing 30 veterans with professional bass anglers. This event will take place on Lake Erie. Boaters will leave from Cullen Park near Toledo, OH. Everything will be provided including fishing poles, tackle, and food. This event is FREE for veterans.
Fishing provides emotional, psychological, and physical rehabilitation for not only soldiers but their families as well. Often, we fish for the thrill, to fill a competitive need within us, or sometimes it's simply to put food on the table. For our wounded warriors, however, fishing can be so much more than the reasons you and I fish every day. Soldiers suffering from PTSD are especially benefitted by these activities, as traumatic events damage the psyche as well as the ability to have healthy interactions and attachments with family, friends, and the community upon return from combat.
