S.K.I.F.F. -- it stands for Soldiers' Kids Involved in Fishing Fun. We take deployed or deceased soldiers' kids fishing on 4 hour guided trips by boat absolutely free. This billboard now stands at Business 190 and Fort Hood Road in Killeen to let our troops know we are ready to serve them... Why are we putting this on TFF?? So if you know a family that may be served by this effort, you'll give me a call or pass along my contact information so we can make something good happen for our troops' families!!

I commend you sir. Now that is above and behond the call of duty. I ran 500 kids through my fishing classes every year for 20 straight years and there just isn't much that is more gratifying than seeing kids get all excited about fishing. They just love it and will remember those experiences forever.

That is GREAT! We owe our service men & women so very much.
Not service-related, there is (was? couldn't pull anything up on google or bing) a program at a Lake Texoma camp for handicapped kids that solicits volunteer boaters to take the kids out on a tournament.
Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

As a father and combat vet myself this is great! If you guys need donations I've got some connections with the management at Academy in Killeen and Temple all you would need is your non profit papers. I also might have some extra stuff I could part with.
Shoot me a pm if you want.

I would also like to donate some time/effort. I can crew/assist on someone's boat if needed, or I have a G3 1860 rigged out that can fish a couple of kids safely.
