I've been a member of the TF boards for almost 3 years and a member of the MSSA for 25, a little over 2 years ago we moved to Beaufort, NC.. I spent a lifetime fishing the Chesapeake and miss it.

Anyway, let's get to the point. A number of new friends on a North Carolina fishing board got together and decided to do something for our active duty military. As a result Military Appreciation Day was conceived and plans put in place. It was a success and as a result the decision was made to make it an annual event. To support that event a non-profit organization was formed and MAD 2 as we call it is fast approaching.

Please visit the MAD site WWW.MilitaryAppreciationDay.Org for additional details and help if you can.

Thanks
