Today we hung out at the Indian Point RV Park and Marina in Gautier Ms for the 6th Annual Wounded Warrior Bass Fishing tournament. Was windy so more so called trash fish(red fish, Flounder and Speckled Trout) than Bass fish. But the 30 plus Warriors seemed to enjoy themselves. Fantastic event with great food, Music and company, with some giveaways for the Warriors and Volunteer Boat Captains as well.

AUSA Magnolia Chapter did their small part as a 1st Year Sponser as we were able to get some gift certificates as well. Thanks to Mangianos Italian (Gulfport), Mary Mahoney (Biloxi) for a gallon of Gumbo and Fields Mediterranean Biloxi.
