Fishing is more than fishing

This photo was taken on May 6, 2011 on the Smith River in Montana.  Six wounded warriors from Iraq and Afghanistan with a community of fishermen, saints and sinners supporting our soldiers.

All Quiet On The Western Front

The following is the preface to the brilliant war novel All Quiet On The Western Front.  "This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it.  It will try and simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war."

We just finished a trip with injured warriors on the Smith River.  Five days of fishing and floating knowing they have lived and seen the shadows of their souls.
