    My Baghdad Fly Fishers hat is a treasured (and unanticipated) memento of donating some stuff to help get them started. I wear it proudly!

    That has got to be one of the most awesome stories of unselfish giving I have ever seen.

    See what happens when a couple people put one foot in front of the other and DO something, instead of just say something!

    I say a giant thanks to all the Companies that sponsored them and the individuals that helped them make this possible. I salute you!

    Thanks for sharing that story, made me proud!

    oldfrat,

    I too wear the Baghdad School of Fly Fishing hat ever so proudly. I get great comments and questions from people about the School when I wear it. It sure makes one feel good to be able to do something for the men and women that serve.
