Event Name: WI Musky on a Fly

Sometimes the best form of therapy is a simple conversation with others who can relate – conversation that involves telling stories and sharing experiences. I can’t think of a better way to facilitate that kind of conversation than sharing an amazing outdoor experience in a small group. I also cannot think of anyone more suitable to facilitate that experience than the amazing folks who hosted/contributed to the “Muskie on a Fly” trip. While I’m confident that the wounded warriors on this trip would all agree that they knew what a military career might cause them to sacrifice, and they’d most likely volunteer to do it all again, it is refreshing to know that there are still people who proudly support and cherish the troops and their service. Those involved in making this trip happen serve as a reminder to me why I raised my hand to volunteer to protect our nation, our freedom, our way of life, and our sportsmen heritage; I am forever grateful.
