Purple Heart Anglers 'Take a Vet Fishing' Event


Once again, our customers amaze and humble us.  When I sent out a notice about the Purple Heart Anglers Take A Vet Fishing event coming up on Melones on June, 15, calls and e-mails poured in, and many came to buy prizes and gift certificates for the vets to win.  So many of our customers are vets themselves, and they really like to support one another.  Hats off to everyone who offered to the use of their boat, and who donated prizes.  If you have not volunteered but want to, it's not too late.
 
We also need to get the word out to local vets.  If you are involved in any way with a VFW or VA, or any other association that offers support to our vets, please spread the word- we want to provide the opportunity for them to get a fishing rod in their hands, and get out on the water.  Not just on June 15, but one a one-one-one basis when it can be arranged.  Purple Heart Angler also provides opportunities for vets to enjoy hunting.  
 
 
If you are interested in participating in any way, please contact me at ghs@goldrush.com.  
 
I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day.
