Heroes on the Water - Kansas Chapter

Heroes on the Water - Kansas Chapter Heroes on the Water helps wounded warriors relax, rehabilitate, and reintegrate through kayak fishing and the outdoors.

Heroes on the Water helps injured service members with their physical and mental recovery using the therapeutic qualities of fishing from kayaks. Every HOW event across the country brings together wounded military personnel for guided kayak fishing excursions. Participants are taught kayaking and kayak fishing basics, and sometimes adaptive kayaks and paddling equipment are required. Warriors hang

out with other kayak anglers, connect with colleagues and most of all leave behind stresses and memories for several hours communing with nature. With chapters across the country, we have teams of volunteers that arrange first-rate, absolutely free kayak fishing trips for the men and women of all branches of service. Their commitment to giving back to the men and women who have given so much makes it possible to deliver this program nationwide in local areas. Consider how you might be able to assist in helping more wounded veterans to experience kayak fishing and the outdoors through the HOW program.

Happy 250th Birthday, United States Marine Corps!

Today, we proudly celebrate 250 years of honor, courage, and commitment. From 1775 to today, Marines have stood the watch—defending our Nation and upholding the values that define our Corps.

The Marine Corps League joins Marines everywhere in saluting all who have earned the title “Marine.” We honor those who came before us, those who serve today, and those who will carry our legacy forward.

Happy Birthday, Marines! Semper Fidelis!
