A few weeks ago, I took advantage of a wonderful and humbling experence.
Instead of fishing for myself, I volunteered to help out with a Heroes on the Water outing for its Tidewater, Virginia Chapter. Along with 10 other volunteers, we took 10 Marines from Portsmouth Naval Hospitals Wounded Warrior Regiment kayak fishing in Owl’s Creek. I have caught lots of fish from a kayak, but none are as rewarding as watching these folks have fun and relax. Seeing their big smiles when they catch a fish is the cherry on the cake. One marine even stated that we have done more for him in one day than any doctor can do. The fishing ws not epic, but they did catch a few and one young lady caught her first fish ever on this trip. And it was a keeper too. I highly suggest you volunteer for your local HOW or other veterans orginazation and share what you do, wether it be hunting, fishing, kayaking, etc. I guarentee you will have a humbling, yet enjoyable experence. I know they will.
