Disabled Vets Fish Outing

Tom McQuaid, Lou Krecklow, Wayne Horman and many others started this event by taking 2 disabled vets in wheelchairs out on charter fishing boats.

This has grown into a event that is in its 44th year this year. It has grown into about 50 or more boats taking out 100+ veterans. Some wheelchair bound and some ambulatory, out on fishing charter boats to enjoy the day of fishing. There is an award ceremony for the biggest fish caught in each category, a fish boil and a cook out, and always a veteran band playing for entertainment.

For some of the vets; this is the only time they get to get out of the VA Hospital all year. To see the smile on their face makes it all worth it!
