Thanks for steppin' up everyone.
Fantastic cause and event.

Desertdiver:
While my first post did not seem to make it, I will try again.  First Thanks to all you set this HOW event up.  I was very proud and humbled participating in this event.  My two Vets showed me their Honor and Strength, and also showed me that I lack rhythm and singing ability to keep a cadence when paddling, especially while trying to keep tabs on the two. The morning was spent getting to know and trust each other. Spent a lot of time on the radio keeping tabs of one or the other as they love to explore.  They also wanted to FISH, so I broke open what tackle I had and told em' Game On use whatever you can dig out of my last minute tangle of FW Tackle.  No Fish AM but lots of smiles.  After the Great BBQ by the VFW Folks (Thanks, great Pork) They wanted to hit the "Swamp" and Fish.  At times they were like two kids on summer vacation, laughing and yelling especially when the BIG Carp bumped the yaks. Then the next minute they were two of the most serious, focused guys I have been around in a long time, using stealth and sneakiness to drift the shallows of the Swamp hunting Mr LMB.  Saw quite a few fairly large LMB and could watch the follows, but no takers.  All in all a great day.  Photo of of me in my orange OC shaking hands with one my vets.  While they shook my hand (actually nearly crushed it) they thanked me and all the NCKA and SAC folks who made this possible.  I am the one who is truly thankful
