Military Branch: US Army
Event Name: Kodiak Alaska Salmon Fishing
This is the first fishing trip I’ve been on as a Wounded Warrior. I had the best time ever, with the best people ever. Alaska was awesome and although I already know Ranger Kiel, I felt like I was hanging out with family. John, Matt, and I got along like reunited best buddies, like we knew each other forever. During our 3 days of fishing and adventuring we built amazing key friendships with our Hosts and caught just about everything in Alaska that swims in water, I mean seriously, I even caught an octopus. This was an awesome adventure and fishing trip and I hope to do it again someday. John Keeney is a great ambassador of WWIA and a fellow sportsman and veteran as well. I couldn’t imagine this trip being this awesome without John, Matt, myself, Ranger Kiel, Ryan, the Skipper and all the supporters in Kodiak, anyone else in the trip just would not have been the same.
