*Chuck -* *I agree that our returning vets need all the support we can give them. From a fly fishing/fly tying perspective, here in KC, MO, we have a very active HEALING WATERS program. Our club - MO TROUT FISHERMEN ASSOC. - works with our local VA hospital and are sponsors of the program. Another approach to helping our warriors return to a "normal?" life.*
