I wanted to say, what a sucess! I thorualy enjoyed meeting every one. I found it funny how I introduced my self as my screen name. I'm arleady looking foward to the next time. Decent fishing was a plus. And Larry, that fish was excenent.
Hope everyone made it home safe! I am very thankful to be a part of this fourm.This whole thing started by someone asking for help. Larry not only took these soldiers out ,but came up with having this whole day to take other soldiers out.I think Larry pulled it off without a hitch.The food was great! Nice to put some more screen names with faces.My Favorite part of the day was hearing Nothead make a noise every time his 50# fish bit him gitting ready for the pic. I wanted to thank LOWE'S of Plano ,and GEICO for the items to give to the soldiers.THANK YOU VETS/ SOLDIERS FOR ALL YOU DO.
DJ you are still welcome to come over ,and go out with me sorry about your grandmother you ,and your family are in my thoughts ,and prayers.

Dj, my family and church has you and your family in prayer. Mj, that was funny. And imedatly after getting bit a couple of times, he stood up and said," to help with noodleing!" Lol.
How bout when I hooked that fish and told Emily to reel it in and she said, "I don't know how, I might screw it up!" What an awsome day!

Man, where to begin? What a great day it was. I had a blast. You might be able to tell by the big smile I had in my pic. Thank you to Larry for putting together a great event (and cleaning our fish). Thanks to MJ for taking us out. You and your son were great hosts. It was really nice meeting both of you. thank you to Lake Lass for helping TDI out with the pic posting.
I was wiped out today. Getting up at 0300 and not getting home until almost 10:00PM made for a looooong day. It was all worth it though. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to spend the day with. I can't wait to do it again. My fishing buddy is over in Korea right now, but he will be back around August, and then he is heading out for El Paso. I am going to schedule a trip to bring him up there before he leaves.
We really wished we could have made this - albeit there were issues with work. In the interim we are seriously glad to hear everyone had a great time - seeing the pics and getting updates from our friends/extended family there.
I am putting together a collection of the pics - so if you have any on your camera or phone and would like to have them added, please send to melanie@lakelass.com
Again, thank you to all the soldiers for your service and thank you to every volunteer. Much kudos to Larry Thomas who took his idea and made it happen - we've been wanting to see a soldier fishing day on twok for a long time!
I would like to give tremendous credit to Larry for putting this all together. The wife and myself had a great time and enjoyed meeting all of you we did meet. Thanks again to the soldiers for their service so that we have the freedoms to attend events like this. Thanks to the guides for the good times had by all.
