Any interest in helping out arkansas wounded warriors?

We are blessed that we have the many women and me who have fought for our country. There sacrifice enables you and me to do what we do. Many of these individuals are left battered mentally and or physically. After pondering on how I can show gratitude for there sacrifice I came up with the idea to offer a guided fishing trip for one or more people. Would any one else be willing to give a trip with me. If there are other people that would offer a trip, I thought we could all fish the same body of water but in different boats. I am just wanting to see what interest there might be from folks. You don't have to respond publicly if you don't want to. Also, besides bringing a boat there would be opportunities for other people to help in other ways. Also if anyone knows of a wounded vet and would like to nominate them please feel free to do so.

Mull it over and see what everyone thinks.

I am in the process of contacting the wounded warrior association to find out additional information.

Great idea.

I am fortunate to get to do a guided duck hunt here in ga for the wounded warrior project an it is a blessing to give back to the men & women that gave of there selves willingly. So more power to you bowhunter hope you get the participation necessary.

Something similar was done by bass anglers on the Big D this past summer. Great idea.

Ok awesome so i know it is possible in arkansas then. I am waiting to hear back from the wwa, i am contacting them this upcoming week.

Me guiding someone would be a disaster.....but I will contribute $ or help fix lunch after....or whatever someone can think of......great idea JW.

I would be interested in helping out. As a veteran myself, there are too many times that our services go unrecognized, especially those who are wounded during this service. It may be a neat idea to combine this with crappie camp?

I kinda had the same idea Dennis but didn't want to step on toes. Depends on how many we can fish, but there is always need for man power to help disabled folks too. Thanks so much for the input and willingness to help. I am still trying to gather information. Didn't know you was a vet either. Thanks for your past service too.

Count me in. If need be I can bring my pontoon.

Thank you creek

Would love to assist as needed. Retired with 20 years this past January. I work on the Air Force base if you can think of any needs such as $$ or a large pool of volunteers, Carl

Thanks carl will keep u on the list to help

Count me in I will cut bait and keep lines untangled on Creeks Barge.

Will do billy

Just a little update i have made contact with the appropriate personel. Depending on how many people volunteer to help will depend on how many veterans we can fish. Some will have service dogs or other disabilities so help can come in many ways not just a boat or guiding.

I will help in any way I can. I'm also a vet, Navy.

Good deal harold. I found out we have at least 90 in arkansas.

Sign me up. I would not be much of a crappie guide (not one at all) but I would like to help out. I can help on some ones boat or in some other support capacity. Just let me know. Thanks.

Count me in. If i am available, I will help out any way I can. Spring camp is a great idea!

Count me in, J. W. Can't furnish a boat or guide, but I know you're going to need help in other ways, and I'll be glad to help. By the way, great idea, man!

Im willing to help if needed if not when one of my boys have ball and we are out of town

Great cause JW. I cant guide at camp for obvious reasons...but would be willing to take a wounded vet out for a guided trip on Lake X. MMMM and I bet we could fill his fridge up with some fillets.

Thx cp.

It is not about having boat but my goal would be 3-4 boats and support help. So it's not always about having a boat but a helping hand can go a long way too.

I could provide a boat but some one will have to show me the fish, I can't seem to find them.

My boat really isn't "guide" material, but I could take care of a second person if they wanted to spider rig or single pole out of the back of someone else's boat. Actually, I would be willing to help in whatever way I am needed.

I would like to see the date before committing but if date doesn't interfere with anything already planned , then I'll be there! You got my number just give me a buzz!!!

Great idea bowhunter, would love to help with a boat or any other way possible. With out what these men and women have give for us we wouldn't have the opportunity to enjoy what this great country has to offer us. It would be an honor to help in any way. Thank you
