Cast for Kids, Wound Warrior Foundation and Joint Base Lewis McCord are having a " Wounded Warrior" fishing event on 07/14/2012 at American Lake. We need all the boaters we can get. Also, any non-boaters can help out with set up and getting people to and from boats. This will be a life changing event for soldiers and civilians. JBLM has generously provide food and drinks for this event. Please donate your boat or time for these soldiers who defended there county and your freedom.

Daryl

In addition, there will be no fish-in for the month of July. Dan and I agreed that this event will be a great substitue for a fish-in.

Hi guys,
We could really use some of the Western Bass Club guys to donate their time for this worthwhile event. We are trying to step it up a bit by getting more soldiers involved, along with some bigger sponsors, breakfast, lunch, and raffle prizes. All of this is free to the soldiers, and requires little of us. Just our boats and a few hours of our time. Please email JohnMark@Evergreenbassclub.com if you would like to help out.
Thanks,
Brian

I'm signed up!!! Should be fun. Ran into a Veteran guy last nite at the lake and BS'd for about an hour with him. (needed someone to take a pic of a FATTY I caught) I told him about the event and he said it sounded awesome because being out on the water for him seemed to let him forgt for a while the stuff he's been thru over seas. He did say it was difficult coming back to society and adjusting. He told me some stories including how he missed the birth of his son, how he worked on Blackhawks, how he might be one place one day , and somewhere else the next; never knowing if that can of coke on the side of the road was gonna blow up as they drove by. Dealing with that kinda stuff every day can build up and get to U, is what he told me. These Veterans have done alot for our country, I think taking one of them fishing for a few hours is the least I can do.  Cool
