Thanks for posting this. I spent last weekend at the Sowbug Roundup fly tying festival and fishing the North Fork of the White River with two of the wounded soldiers from our program at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. And I spent yesterday fishing a bass and bluegill pond on Fort Leonard Wood with about a half dozen of them. They are great young men and women, severely injured in service to our nation, with amazingly positive attitudes.

I spent some time yesterday teaching a young Army nurse with a broken back, busted collar bone, and two broken ribs from breaking the fall of a patient in her care how to cast a fly rod in such a way as to not aggravate her injuries or cause her pain. Her dad fly fishes, and she is genuinely excited about being able to share this hobby with him in the future. She has been in the Army for a little more than a year and a nurse not much longer than that, and now is being processed out totally disabled. She has a husband and a young child. You might think a young woman in her position would be bitter and depressed...with no positive outlook on the future. Nope! At least in this one small way...fly fishing...she has found new hope for enjoying life in the future.

This is what Project Healing Waters is all about.
