Wired2Fish and FLW Outdoors teamed up to send a little joy to some deployed soldiers who also happen to be avid anglers. Many Wired2Fish fans have taken a liking to Sgt. Jason Redding and asked that if their entry was selected in a contest to send him the prize.
So we thought it fitting to send them some of home to keep their mind on fishing when they have some down time. Here are Sgt Redding's comments:
Man that had to be the best care package I’ve opened since I’ve been here. I have some pics that are being uploaded of me and my buddy that works with me. I will send them as soon as they hit my email. Like a kid at Christmas was what it was like.
The hats are great. The reading material will serve for hours of “me-not-being-there time.” The DVDs will be “front porch” therapy. I would like to thank you all so very much and please send my thanks to the folks at FLW.
This is true troop support at its finest. I think the biggest worry I will have now is keeping up with all the magazines and DVDs that all the troops will borrow. This is a team effort, and there is no better therapy for being home sick than a mental trip back to your favorite fishing hole.
I am speechless, which for me is an awkward moment. Ask all my friends and coworkers. I will talk their heads off about fishing, hunting, sweet tea and home cooking. I just got the pictures, so I will send them with this email. Thanks so much; we needed this.
Humbled Once Again,
