I though this was cool enough to share with the muskie fishermen. It's really great to see our military enjoying something.

It's nice to see some smiles on our troops. Why can't the press show something like this once in a while.

That is great! Post the address if you have it. I emailed them too. Support those guys/gals with whatever you can send. I can not imagine putting my life and family on hold for a year or more. Sporting equipment is a small gesture but I am sure it means a lot to them.

Looks like you can send donations or equipment here:

BAC & SFF C/O Joel Stewart

------------------------------------------
The club is always in need of equipment, as gear wears our pretty quick in the harsh conditions of Baghdad. If you would like to contribute, you can send items to me. I do not release the mailing address of Soldiers in theater and consolidate and forward on all contributions. Send items to:

BAC&SFF C/O Joel Stewart
3461 Calavo Drive
Spring Valley CA 91978

The list of requested supplies and equipment stands as follows:

Fly Fishing Equipment

Fly Rods/Reels - The best rod to use where they are fishing is an 8 1/2 ft 7wt with a weight forward line.
Lighter rods work well too.

If you are just interested in sending something to the club any of the following go over well:
The most requested and useful item is a prepaid phone card
Fishing magazines
DVDs
Powdered drink mixes (Gatorade, Crystal Light, etc.) in individual pouches
Packaged tuna in pouches,


Again, contributions can be sent to me at:

BAC & SFF C/O Joel Stewart

Thank you for helping out for those on the ground in a place far from home. Your support means a great deal.

Fish on! Joel
