The 2nd Annual Salmon for Soldiers Fishing Event to be held on Saturday, September 13, 2014 is fast approaching.

With the huge success of last year’s event, we are experiencing significant interest and sign-ups by soldiers and their caregivers to participate in this year’s event. In fact we already have 225 veterans and their caregivers registered for the event and a waiting list has started. As we expected the numbers of soldiers wanting to participate in this awesome event has skyrocketed this year and all these great folks deserve to go fishing!

To make that happen, Salmon for Soldiers needs your help in two areas:

1. Financial Support – On the Salmon for Soldiers website (http://www.salmonforsoldiers.com), we now have the ability to collect individual donations for the event. Please consider making a personal donation to the cause (click on the Donate tab on the bottom of the Home page or click on the DONATIONS tab). Any dollar amount you can afford will go a long way in supporting our wounded heroes. This fishing event is really all about the soldiers…Where the Mission is Fishin’! *

2. Volunteer Boat Captains & Their Crews – Boat captains and their deck hands wanting to participate in the event should send an email to Dave Davenport (Daveyd6998275@yahoo.com) for the Boat Owner Sign Up Sheet.

Thank you in advance for supporting Salmon for Soldiers!

This is an awesome event for a great cause. We need captains and, if you can, please give a donation of any amount to the event - it will go a long way in ensuring every soldier signing up for the event gets to fish! Thanks everyone.

As announced, Silver Horde Tackle will be producing a limited number of Salmon for Soldiers spoons for the 2014 fishing event in September. Silver Horde has committed to producing a special limited edition lure for Salmon for Soldiers every year for the next decade. These spoons will be available only for boat captains who volunteer their boats and expertise every year to take our veterans fishing and a very limited number will be for sale to the general public.

We will soon announce how to purchase the Salmon for Soldiers limited edition spoons. Please visit salmonforsoldiers.com and "Like" us on the Salmon for Soldiers Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SalmonForSoldiers) to be the first to get notifications on the sale release date to the general public. See prior posting if you would like to volunteer as a captain or make a donation.

THANK YOU again to Silver Horde for supporting Salmon for Soldiers and our veterans!!!!!!!
