Seventeen Army veterans and active-duty personnel recently had an opportunity to reunite and catch up.
“Operation Salmon” involved four days of fishing — three along the banks of the Washougal River, and one from boats in the Columbia River.
The Sept. 8 through 11 weekend of activities was sponsored by Veteran Outdoors, a national 501(c) 3 non-profit all-volunteer organization.
The mission is to honor U.S. wounded veterans’ patriotism and their sacrifice by providing quality adventures.
“The organization started [in 2008] by taking one veteran at a time out,” said Toby Nunn, of Georgetown, Texas.
