Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2012 Forgot the main point of posting this duh Reason I posted this here is because they could use any sort of extra tying materials or tool you guys would like to donate. They do fly tying classes for disabled vets and could use some materials. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skiperie 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 Thanks Steve I appreciate the post..... What we do is go to the Erie PA VA Hospital 2 times a month and teach the guys and gals how to tie.. We also teach them how to cast then take them out on the water... We have taken or sent the participants to 4 trips so far this year and we have one this weekend in Erie on Elk Creek participants are coming in from New York as well.. about 50 people will be there.... We are also sending 2 guys on the Missouri River in Montana next year sort of a Trip of a lifetime for them. Any help is appreciated Thanks and God Bless our Troops Skip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnP 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 This is a timely post. I was just sorting through some of my tying materials and trying to decide what to do with the surplus stuff. I will be more than happy to put together a package and send it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Pamenter 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2012 What a fantastic idea.....I am an Australian Veteran and here we have nothing at all remotely similar to this. Once you leave active service it seems the whole world forgets who and where you are. I will get a parcel off this week to the address above.

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 I talked to Skip today and asked if he got much yet, he said not a thing, Really guys? Nothing at all? Wow is that all we care about our vets that provide our way of life?? This site is FREE....how about tossing even a ting thing to help guys that defend our country? No one "has" to help, but if you can spare even a tiny bit of marabou or the slightest thing, it's well used by these Vets guys. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have his address and I will be putting together some materials. I did not realize there was a time limit on donating to this group that, a week ago, I did not know existed.

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 No time limit at all, just thought after 11 days at least one person would have donanted at least 1 thing is all. I and skip both do/will accept your help though John. Thank you very much. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
