This holiday season, experience the pleasure of Giving. A little amount you spend can help the wounded warriors  restore hope for their future, re-integrate back with the society.



Kayak fishing brings back to them that outdoor fun and quality time with fellow warriors and the merriness they had lost. From our past three years of experience, we discovered that Kayak fishing brings out the Sportsmanship from their inner self , provides mental relaxation and a satisfaction that they have learnt a new skill that they can remember for their lifetime.

Only their words can describe the feeling at its best. Here is what a wounded Army captain said after participating in the HOW program:

"You have given us a new sport that we can do with our injuries.  Best of all, I really yearn for a morning in the woods with my bike or a long run down our country road... those thoughts have been replaced by talk of new fishing tackle, rods, water craft, and terrain.  You have no idea how mentally and physically healing your program is.  Thank you!!  Thank you for your time, your expertise, your passion, and your dedication to the military in which you served.  We feel blessed!! " 

Its never too late to give. This year end, make your tax deductible donation towards "Heroes on the Water" . Help the Veterans bring back joy to their families.

Email from an Army Captain to HOW Coordinator

May, 2010 -- An Army Captain wrote this email to a Heroes on the Water Chapter Coordinator. The Marine Coordinator took them kayak fishing last weekend. He couldn't wait to share it --- " Thank you so much for treating us to a little piece of your heaven. 'The river' truly opened our eyes to a whole new way of fishing. We talked about our trip all the way back. You are a true warrior, and I would have been proud to serve next to you. You have given us a new sport that we can do with our injuries. Best of all, I really yearn for a morning in the woods with my bike or a long run down our country road... those thoughts have been replaced by talk of new fishing tackle, rods, water craft, and terrain. You have no idea how mentally and physically healing your program is. Thank you!! Thank you for your time, your expertise, your passion, and your dedication to the military in which you served. We feel blessed!!  " The one statement that made me laugh and cry was "You have no idea how mentally and physically healing your program is." We don't know the healing powers of what we do because we haven't been there and don't face the challenges they do. We do know kayak fishing helps because we hear those words over and over. Thanks to all the Chapter Coordinators and volunteers across the country who help wounded warriors. Jim Dolan National Director - Heroes on the Water
