Each year around the first Saturday in August, Salmon Unlimited makes a special day for some of the veterans from the VA Hospital in Milwaukee.  The VA provides bus service for 20 – 30 veterans to Racine where SU members are manning 8 -12 of their boats for a fun morning of fishing on Lake Michigan.  

 

With help from the SU volunteers, the veterans take turns trying to land the ‘Big One’.  It is a great thrill for both fishermen and helpers to have one strike and then land it.  Usually by noon the boats convene back at Racine Harbor and enjoy sharing tall tales and some food.  Special thanks to the VA Administration and the SU volunteers that make this day possible.
