Supporting Combat Veterans International Fishing Trip for Wounded Warriors

Comrade Don Stay brought to our attention that the Combat Veterans Group International hosts a 3 day fishing trip for 4-6 wounded, ill, or injured Warriors. They raise funds by selling a very cool T shirt with all proceeds going to pay for the trip. If you are interested in supporting the group, you can contact the CVI Chapter 11 at PO Box 73, Port Hadlock, WA 98339 or call Don (not Stapleton) at 360-301-1774. The shirts are $20 M-XL or $25 for XX. CVI is a 501c3 organization.
