I am truly sorry for your loss. I lost my father 2 years ago to SJS (drug reaction). It was REAL hard on me as I am sure with you to lose someone so suddenly.
As a side note:
My brother just pulled off a 2nd FANTASTIC Fishing Tourney in his honor.
The first went very well despite we had no clue what we were doing. It brought in $15K and every penny went to the INTREPID FALLEN HEROES FUND. This charity assist our soldiers in rehabilitation from sustained injuries.
This year went even better and even before the auction began, he was up $9K from straight donations. The auction again this year went with everyone just throwing money. This community is fantastic with their generosity. The Captains took approx 30 wounded soldiers out fisihing. We even saw a few return from last year sicne they had such a good time.
The town of Sargent is has the biggest heart in Texas. This community also opened up their own homes to these soldiers, feeding them taking them fishing and genneraly treating them like Kings and Queens.
Auctions were for donated paintings, fishing gear, Astros tickets, fishing trips, dinners etc. The boat Captains offered and gave so much. These guys are truly the best as well. I will be riding there next year and hopefully I can get a few friends to shoot down there with us.
The Iron Cactus hosted and has GREAT food as well. The whole event was Texas and Texans at their everyday best.
I am a little biased but they just ain't no better place than Texas.
AS A NOTE: This years event brought in 43,000 dollar for our soldiers.
Good job 'bro !
Gone. Too much editing. Baby about it, yes. I would like to have real discussions. If I want to have things not reported/discussed\deleted I would watch main stream media. This was one of my alternatives. Later all.
