Thanks brother for your service & sacrifice as well as intent to help this great cause. God Bless
I sent you a PM and look forward to teaming with you!  In the event it takes awhile to get an answer, I'd
advise you bundle up a care package and forward it to me. I assure you it will get put to good use for the
intended purpose in MT.

Was out on Craigslist looking for Fly Fishing gear and saw some gents offering flies for sale.  Pinged both and asked about their interest to donate to Wounded Warriors.  Thus far, one has responded with interest. Additionally, he's been taking fly tying classes down at Fort Carson.  Hope to connect with the head of the program there...

re: Trout Unlimited - I have no bandwidth left in my days lately  if others believe in this strongly I'd ask for any material support that can be provided   Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless / great idea!

Looking forward to receiving them, thanks for your efforts; especially with juggling school!

I'll be giving it approx 90 days for others to send their work in and then will forward to VP of the WQW Program in MT
Their VP can decide from there if he'd appreciate having more

Reached out to Tom @ WQW (warriors & quiet waters) about their present and annual needs for our vets. Seeking his input on my drafting a letter for local fly shops to consider becoming sponsors for his program and the local programs stemming from Fort Carson.   There were a number of shops in the Bozeman area that send their guides along to work each of the six annual events.  One could only imagine those same shops outfit them as well with the needed gear.

So many opportunities in this life, so little time....  Imagine with me for a moment or over the course of week, what you too could accomplish for some who gave a limb and/or a large part of their lifelong peace of mind overseas in a theatre of war.

Could you use some Crawler Harnesses for walleye. I have been making them the last couple weeks. Would be glad to send some your way.

Thanks brother- any item is welcome   While the vets are being brought up for fly fishing, we don't know what they fished for previously or will do in the future. Your offer is welcome and my address is embedded near the top.  Thanks and God Bless

My thanks extended to all those that have sent in or are in the process of doing so.  I've found another outlet and this one is developing more slowly.  It is a local group that meets at the Army base here in the Springs (Fort Carson) - I don't have much more info that that right now as I'm going through 2x people. 

I appreciate what you're doing - time, effort, heart..
