Vets Fight On

03/27/2024

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of Pete. He was a devoted husband, father, buddy to Rory, friend, veteran, and a true inspiration to many. His own challenges motivated him to share his love for adaptive and therapeutic activities -- to help other veterans fight on.

We keep his family in our thoughts and prayers. They were his rock, and it was through their support that he was able to impact so many lives.

First, we wanted to let you know the meaning behind "Operation Tight Lines"
While in the military, you conducted numerous Operations all over the world.
Fishermen always wish each other tight lines, because a tight line on a rod and
reel means you have a fish, and the tighter the line is, the bigger the fish is.

be participating in "Operation Tight Lines 2022"
