Another great program I'm involved with is Heroes On The Water. We take wounded veterans out with the help of the VA and local chapters kayak fishing. It's another great way to help them rehabilitate. As a former “Squid” who served in Iraq, I’m glad people haven’t forgotten our solders!

He answered the call to defend his country, and he got injured because of it. A famous saying goes like this: things that don't kill you make you stronger. Now that he is holding a fishing rod instead of a rifle, the battle he fights is on the river. I wish him and his family all the best. He is a real American hero, a red-blooded GI Joe to the core.
