Ok last year I did this and I am going to do it again this year to say Thanks again for all of you who have served and who still are serving this great country we live in.
This is for all military men/women/veterans out there. I want to give back something to all who have served this great country. The sacrifices each one of you have made to keep US safe at home and around the world. I cannot say Thanks enough.
So just like last year here is the deal from now till Jan 1 2016 if you are active/retired/veteran/injured while serving in the US Military I want you to send me a email with name/address/branch/years/contact info, and anything you might want to add about your time while serving. That would be great.
Your reward : At the end of the year I will have my grand kids draw from all the emails/names for a 1 FREE Full Day Guide trip on Lake Fork with me for 2016. My way of saying THANKS !
The trip will NOT be valid in March/April/May for those are my busiest months.
This again is my way of saying Thanks for all you do. No one appreciates you anymore than I do. Most of my family including my son have served this great country we live in.I know first hand the sacrifices you have made.
Send all emails to mgs@suddenlink.net
Thanks again & Merry Christmas !

That is a very nice thing to do. I served in the 80's and while I would love a free trip, I know that I can afford to pay for one so I'll bow out and hope that the trip goes to a deserving vet who would not be able to go on one, any other way. Nice of you to give back

Bobby Thanks for your service.
Last years winner hit a home run. Lots of other people got in on saying Thanks and giving last year.
The winner got a FREE guide trip and a custom rod and a $50 gift card to Gander MT, and $25 worth of Xcite Baits, and Lunch at Oak Ridge all by people who wanted to say Thanks.
I am sure it will be great again this year.

Nice of you to give back My sentiments exactly. I spent 5 1/2 years in the military, 2 were on active duty. I know many, many others who sacrificed much more than I did. I have received more blessings than I count, because of my service. I will not be entering my name, but it's certainly not because I wouldn't love the opportunity to spend a day on the lake with you, Marc. Thank you for the kind gesture of appreciation.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I spent 7 years in the military in the 70's and early 80's and wouldn't have traded the experience for anything. It made me who I am today. Thanks for the thoughtfulness for our military friends. Things were much diffrent then and I am glad to see society has grown to appreciate what our military has done instead of spitting on them after coming home from serving this great country.

Marc Thank you. I get to do fish for freedom at Lake Belton and it's a blessing to take someone from our Military fishing. We need to do more. Again thank you.

Bless you marc for doing this for my brothers in arms, I am certain that a deserving vet will be picked and have a great time. I bow out as I can afford a trip, some of my less fortunate brothers and sisters cant. Thank you so much from an old viet nam vet
