Salmon for Soldiers Fishing Event
Posted: Wed Feb 20, 2013 1:43 pm1st Annual Salmon for Soldiers Fishing Event
The Outdoor Line on 710 ESPN Seattle is presenting the 1st Annual "Salmon for Soldiers" fishing event in Everett, Washington on Saturday, August 10th. What better way to say THANK YOU to our young wounded veterans than to spend a great day fishing with them on the Puget Sound.
The forecast calls for a record run of pink salmon to the Puget Sound this summer and August is also a great time to hook into a king salmon or perhaps an early silver salmon. Fish will be caught, these young soldiers will smile, and you'll get to meet some of America's genuine war hero's.
We expect as many as 130 wounded veterans from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom to participate in the event and we need boats, boats, and more boats to help the cause. You can be responsible for putting a smile on these young soldiers faces, many of whom have been wounded in combat and are now trying to put their lives back together here at home.
