On Friday the 21st of September, members of the Military Appreciation Day web-site had the honor and privilege of taking some of the Wounded Warriors from Camp LeJeune MCB out for a day of deep sea fishing aboard the head boat Continental Shelf. The boat left the dock in Morehead at 5:30am heading out to showers and rough seas. Unfortunately because of the weather and physical limitations the number of Warriors able to go was less than desired. So, with 20 or so Warriors and numerous volunteers they pushed on for a great day of fishing and cameraderie. The liquid cameraderie and sea conditions led to much chumming
.
The tired fishermen returned to the dock at 5:00pm with many stories to tell and some good catches. One lucky angler caught a citation red snapper of 27 lbs. The anglers were met at the dock by approximately 20 web-site members who escorted them on a short walk down the waterfront to a pig-pickin' in their honor. The event included a rocking good Military band from Cherry Point MCAS that provided music for everyone's enjoyment. Awards of hats, t-shirts and pier passes were provided to some of the lucky anglers. The angler of the biggest fish also received a cash award, generously donated by a web-site member. Goodie bags were provided to all Military members in attendance including the members of the band. At the end of the day the Warriors returned to their barracks with food, beverages, fish and the respect, gratitude and appreciation of all in attendence for their service and sacrifice for our Country.
Thank you again to those who serve and to all those who generously donated time, items and money to make this day a possibility. For more information or to become a part of future events please go to the website Military Appreciation Day - Home
