This fishing trip for Wounded Veterans was held at Harry Gaines Fish Camp on the Kenai River, June 1, 2008. There were 94 soldiers and support staff that got to go King Salmon fishing for free courtesy of the Alaska State Elks Association and the Kenai River Professional Guides Association. There were 42 guides and boats who donated their services to accomodate these soldiers.

Other sponsors were Eagle Claw and Yamaha/River & Sea Marine Supply of Soldotna.

The following soldiers are the ones who caught and kept fish. Congratulations to them all. Click on the picture to see a larger photo.
