Providing Outdoor Adventures for Combat-Injured Veterans Since 2013
Let me tell you a sincere THANK YOU for the fantastic fishing trip on the Kenai River in Alaska!!! I’m not sure if the best part was the hospitality at the cabin, the fantastic food, the B.S. stories, the pranks, the fishing, or the memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. The work you guys do is amazing. Keep it up!

Send-A-Vet is excellent, what a great organization that helps veterans feel normal and assists them getting together and outdoors! The organization sent me and a fellow Marine Corp veteran to Utah to fish with a private charter and camp the Strawberry Reservoir. What an amazing experience! We camped a beautiful state park and fished from sun up to sun down with amazing people who treated us like they had known us our whole lives! They included their family members and treated us to fish fries from the fish we caught that day and to a crawfish boil from traps we set. My Marine Corp buddy and I had a blast! The trip really helped keep the symptoms of PTS down and we were able to disengage from the anxiety of our normal days. The best part was we didn’t have to worry about anything and Marie and I are great friends now! Thank you, Send-A-Vet, for the great trip!

The trip to Petersburg, Alaska for me was more than just a fishing trip. It was a rare opportunity to heal, both mentally and spiritually by communing with nature alongside fellow veterans in a magnificent and awe-inspiring location most people will go their entire lives without experiencing. – Dave C.
