Had a chance to speak with one of the Board Members of the Wounded War Heroes group.
Based on my discussion with them, they currently put on two bigger rodeo's each year (One in Empire, and the other is occurring in a couple weekends on Toledo Bend)(I am going to try to stop in to that one and at least say hello)
They give 100% of donations to directly benefit the vets by taking them fishing/hunting and paying the associated expenses related to that (transportation,gas,etc etc etc)
They have been looking to make something happen in the Southwest area of louisiana.
Many of the vet's that they currently work with come from the Ft. Polk area, The rest are spread out in various area's.
They are willing to ensure than all funds generated through a potential Salty Cajun Fundraising tourney, are used to put on a Salty Cajun Veterans Fishing spree / Tourney.
All in all they were quite impressive, There board member Mr. Watson will be jumping on here later tonight and contributing as well.
On a side note they are looking for a couple more captains to be in there Toledo Bend event here in a couple weekends, It's going to be a Thursday afternoon - Midday saturday type thing.
