I don't own a boat, but have relatives and friends that have either served, or are still currently in the arm forces, and some still deployed.
I do rent some slips up here at Eagle Mountain Lake in the N Fort Worth Area, and could check with our marina owner on something like this. I'd love to fish side-by-side with some of the most unselfish heroes known to our country.
It would be the least I could do and really have nothing more than the upmost respect and reverence for our ladies/gents that serve our country across the world. God Bless em'.

Thanks Kevin, that's 7 boats so far. Shooting for 20. I know of 2 other boats that will be on the water. Got the cards printed out for windshields @ the ramp. Won't be able to place them until May 18th. Going out of town until the 17th. Also got some flyers printed. Hopefully I will be able to get them to the bait shops and sporting good stores Friday prior to my departure to Corpus Saturday morning. Keep up the great work all. See you on the lake on May 18th. Dave
Keep on fishing.

DB, Do you need someone to man the Granger HQ (pavilion)? I ain't wounded, but I'd still help if I had time. Also, do you need any help getting the word out on-post here? June is gonna be a busy month for me, but I believe I could get away for a Saturday if necessary.
Rock Bottom!

TYD, May need your assistance driving a boat. Might have one lined up for you to be the skipper on. I'll let you know. I still can use your assistance @ the HQ if not. Thanks man.

I know you would be there my friend if you could. I also know/understand why. I had hoped to see you @ the BB fish fry. Like to get your assistance in rallying the BB for our event on Granger. The more the merrier. Be careful/be safe/watch your 6. Dave

Dave Call me this week when your in the office and let me know what equipment you might need...you can return it to the spousal unit I will be at the BB fish fry, but will not have time to fish. We can gang up on the rest of them...that day is rough with just the party, much less fishing
