Salmon for Soldiers Fishing Event

[cabincreekadventures]

My wife and I booked a room yesterday at Port Gardner Inn. We will be in Everett early on Friday to meet and greet some of the boats coming in. Don't know if we will get any fishing in or not. Dock time is still good time and a chance to meet all you wonderful folks. Just a reminder, Salmon for Soldiers has all of Guest Dock A reserved. That is 1000' of moorage. It is $1.00 a foot and comes with power. That is the best rate they would give.
For those of you staying at the Port Gardner Inn, let them know you are with Salmon for Soldiers and they will give you a corporate rate. I am trying for lower but have not gotten there yet. They only have 33 rooms and are expected to be at capacity on August 9th.
We attended the Wounded Veterans Fishing Program event yesterday at Riffe Lake. Danny Gabriel did a wonderful job putting that on. He will be joining us in Everett for our event. Danny has the Group Fishing Permit. Each warrior will receive a free punch card for the day! Thanks Danny!
Also spoke with Jeff Alexander from the Warrior Transition Unit. He will also be joining us along with 19 other warriors from JBLM! We are filling up.
If you are already signed up, thanks a million! If not, give a shout and we will get you registered!

Been a while since I've been on here guys. Really neat idea about doing the Salmon for Soldiers event this summer. Our soldiers deserve a big thanks from all of us. Good for you guys for putting this together for them

I saw on Facebook that Robbo had a S4S decal on his boat. Where do I get a couple of those?? One for car and 1 for boat.

Hey Kurt
Give me a call and I will get your address and send them to you. I have enough for each boat to get one and a few left over. Randy 425.330.0415

OK folks, hold on to your downriggers.......The Salmon for Soldiers event will be rolling out in its' first year with 66 boats and 145 warriors and caregivers! Nearly 30 of our Country's finest will be rolling in from Spokane and the Tri-Cities areas. We have soldiers coming from California, Idaho, Arizona and Florida! For all of you boat Captains and Deckhands.....you are the best! Without you, this event could not take place. And for our warrior guests, thanks for allowing us to be a part of your lives for this day! Without you, our freedom does not happen! We all owe you a debt we will never be able to repay......salute!
Many of the boats will be making their way to the North Yacht Basin and Guest Dock A where we have 1000 feet of reserved moorage for the night of August 9th. And yes, we have it filled. There will be impromptu fishing classes, visiting, meeting new friends, seeing old friends, and more than a few fishing stories.

I can't wait to get the full report when you get up here to Alaska Randy. A huge thanks to all of the people that have made this grass roots event take place. What an awesome event!

[kurtmiller]

Congratulations Randy! Way bigger than you anticipated, I can hardly wait... the Millertime and crew (Humpies4Heroes) is ready to go! Got decals on boat and jeep.

Hey guy's, the Salmon for Soldiers event was fantastic. We took out 2 soldiers, Carlos and Joshua. Carlos caught 2 pinks and Joshua caught his first salmon ever. Thank you for your part in the event and to Randy for all his hard work. Here is a pic of Carlos and Joshua with their fish. Ok I can't figure out how to post pics.
