Who wants to take a Wounded Warrior and his Dad Fishing?

[Third Coast Fishing]

I received a call from Dr. Stanley McGowen, whom is working with the
Armed Forces Foundation and the Wounded Warriors Association to arrange some outdoor activities for our wounded veterans here in Texas.
He said that he has a wounded soldier at the Brook Army Medical Center
in San Antonio, that wants to go "deep sea fishing with his dad".
His father will be down here (at BAMC) visiting him from 4/16 to 4/20
and he would like to take him fishing during his visit. I guess their first choice would be to go out of Port A or Corpus, since they will be leaving from
San Antonio, but any & all offers will be appreciated. Please PM me if you want to help.

Thanks,

I thought about putting it on the Bluewater Board, but didn't know if it was appropriate to do so. If any Mods read this and want to move it to the Bluewater Board, please do so. Dallasrick is working on getting a deal on a boat (Revielle) out of Sargent, but hasn't heard back from them yet. Just as soon as we find the charter, I'll let you know where to send the funds. Thanks again!

I have a nice mobile home on the Inter coastal Canal in Matti. if that would work for a place to stay.

We have a date with Reveille Charters out of Sargent with Capt Cole. Anyone that is able to help would be greatly appreciated. Cap Cole will be honored to take a hero out with his dad for fishing, and sounds like he will bend over backwards to make this a great trip. Please pm Third Coast or myself for any information you might need in order to help out. Lets send this young man and his Dad on a fishing trip.

Left a messsage with Rieville's Captain Cole that I will be sending a deposit tomorrow, and that should take care of our soldier as far as locing in a date for the time he is looking at. Set it up for them to go on the 18th, as his dad will be visiting from 16th to 20th, figured give them a day afterwards to relax, but that is a tentative date, and they can set up what ever is a more conveniant day. When I told Cap Cole that the young man is currently in an Army medical center, he was wanting to make sure to know of any precautions he may need to take as far as making him comfortable. To those who have offered assistance, yall should be recieving PM'S from Third coast. He and I can keep track of who sends what, if any additional is donated, we can all get together and decide the best use for it. Maybe to help with a hotel room for them for a night or whatever else. Thanks to everyone who can help, this is a 2Cool thing.

We finally have this trip nailed down to send this soldier, his dad, along with two other soldiers on a fishing trip out of Matagorda on April 18th.. If anyone would like to donate a few bucks towards the cause, please PM me and I'll tell you where to send it..

Thanks for your support! :flag:

We went ahead and booked them a Bay fishing trip out of Matagorda,
instead of risking a "blow out" offshore this time of year.
The GREAT folks at The Casa del Pescador Lodge in Matagorda have gotten everything lined up for them,
and thanks to some very generous & patriotic 2coolers,
we have received all of the donations necessary to give these heros a 1st class fishing trip!
I will post a full report (hopefully with pictures) after their trip! (April 18th)

If you guy's want to get another trip going out of P.O.C.,
just let me know when, and how many soldiers you can take, and I will start the ball rolling!

Send me a PM or shoot me an e-mail at: brankin1@satx.rr.com..

Thank You All!
