    Take a wounded soldier fishing event

    We had an event back in May where we took 15 wounded soldiers fishing. It couldn't have turned out much better then it did. So we are going to try and do it again on Saturday Sept. 21st at the West Point American Legion. I need volunteers to furnish their boats and time for this worthy cause. The American Legion will be furnishing breakfast, lunch and a home-made dinner for everyone and ice for the boats. We meet at West Point, convoy to Rough River fish and come back to West Point for a home cooked meal. Please contact me at 502-419-5969 by text or phone if you are willing to volunteer. We have to get medical and Army clearance for these guys to go so I have to line the boats up early. We have therapist and EMT's on hand to ensure nothing goes wrong and we were told in May that we did more good in one day then therapy can do in months by the head therapist at Ireland Army Hospital. Heck one of the 15 soldiers we took has went out and bought his own boat and took up bass fishing just because of our event.
    Thanks everybody for the help!!!!
