On this episode of the Manistee Local I have my bud Andy Lee back on for his annual chat about Tight Lines for Troops. The non-profit that gives veterans a day to remember! Here is their Mission statement "Our mission is to unite organizations, businesses, sponsors and communities to help provide a free fishing tournament open to all Michigan Veterans from all eras, wartime and peacetime. By bringing our Heroes together, we endeavor to build and foster new relationships, share their experiences and enjoy fishing in the great outdoors of Michigan.Our all-volunteer, not-for-profit efforts will improve the quality of life for many Veterans, reinforce patriotism, educate and bring awareness that we must continue to support and honor those who have defended our country and our freedoms."This organization has provided this wonderful event for veterans for over a decade. In that time it has grown from a few soldiers fun fishing into an event that takes hundreds of Michigan veterans out onto the big lake.
