I wanted to share with all fellow anglers a website that I ran into while looking for some information on my next assignment.  Heck you might even be able to share some of the information found on the site with a service member on his/her way down range.  Just as with many of us, they have unique and funny stories to tell about their catch.

If this goes in another location, I apologize.  

This is the right section.

Although we don't usually allow solicitation

for another fishing website, I think we'll make

an exception for this one.

Good stuff.  I read an article about service men and women in either Outdoor Life or Field and Stream a while back about fishing in Baghdad.

I'm glad our troops have an opportunity to relax (if there is such a thing in a war zone) and be "normal" (again, if there is such a thing) while fighting and defending.

Thanks for your service.

Great site. I hope everyone sends them a BIG thank you for what they are doing over there. Those guys and gals face more in a day than most of us do in a life time. I hope God brings them all home safe. It's nice there is an e mail link on there so we can keep in touch.

Thanks Glenn for letting it on here.

There wasn't much fishing to be done where I was at.  Too dangerous.  it's a cool idea though and I think it should be passed onwards to the states for soldier's on R&R.  

I like this photo from that site:

Nothing like a lady fishing in a PT uniform with a sidearm!

about as close to fishing I get is paper cut outs ahahahaha but yeah.. I sure *** those folks down there that can fish... I am about a 3 hour rotary wing flight from there... so I don't get to VBC very often...
