Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this Sunday, you made an old guy really happy. Was very moved by your words about vets and freedom, keep up the good work both on the water and off. Thanks again and I would love doing it again sometime.

I have to tell you "THANK YOU" again for yesterday. I know you've heard it time and time again but your leading efforts are a blessing to many people. Your sincere heartfelt presentations truly brought back the pride hidden within me for service to our great nation. Standing up on that stage among hero's of the past and in front of potential leaders of the future, listening to you speak from the heart, was awesome! Once I cleared my eyes, I looked around to notice very few dry eyes within the group. That moment brought back years and memories I had stuffed away in a duffle bag thinking, they were lost forever from another life. That event was honestly, since I retired, THE FIRST TIME, I felt recognized and appreciated for the time served. I went to bed last night thanking our Lord God for His grace, for all who served, and especially for You, your Staff and Support Team and all that you are doing. I will support your efforts anyway possible as long as I can. Let it be known that you may not have been a "brother-in-arms' but the fact is you are a "brother who serves" and you are exceptional at it! Once again, "THANK YOU JAY GARSTECKI". May God continue to Bless.

My uncle recently attended the Madison event and I know how much he enjoyed himself fishing and meeting other veterans like himself. What a great way to give back to and show our support for our service men and women. Thank you for what you do.

Jay, Just wanted to say thanks for doing this for the vets, and coming to the fox chain. Hopefully a day on the water, and the lunch/ceremony have them a day to relax, clear their heads,and get away. You guys are doing a really nice job, and I think the TAVF concept is great. This was my first time volunteering to guide, and I plan to do it again, possibly Madison on 6/14. The vet I took out was Ben Meyers, was a 12 year Army vet, and really seemed to have a good time. His wife and 4 small kids came up at noon to meet us and see the fish we caught and have lunch, they were thrilled.they got a nice cooler of white bass and a catfish to chill their freezer. I attached a couple of pics of our catch,( Ben is in center of first pic) my friend Bernie jumped in with us and caught a 36" musky on 4lb test and a tiny roster tail spinner! looking forward to volunteering again

Jay, as my first event, me and my friends are always skeptical of any event that is touted for PTSD. I have to say I was still until the chow time. My buddy Charles and I both suffer with a high degree of SC PTSD and found you put on a first class event. My guide was outstanding and very classy. I was glad to be on his boat. Thanks again for the chance to participate.
