Fellow Rangers,

I received the following invitation from Ranger Nathan McClure who resides in Wichita, KS:

Gentlemen,

First thank you for another outstanding 16th Infantry event this last weekend at the KC reunion.  Always a joy to be around other Rangers from all of the eras.

The past 2 years, I have been part of a team with Mr. Marty Thurman to put on a fishing tournament in Council Grove Kansas, where we partner a member of a local fishing club with a veteran to make a 2-man team, that then competes in a fishing tournament.  

For the last 2 years we have had representation from members of the 16th Infantry Regiment, from both 1-16 and 2-16.  This year, we currently still have some open slots, yet no Rangers are on the list.  So I wanted to make an open invitation to members of the 16th Infantry Regiment who would be interested in participating from September 9th through the 10th in our 3rd annual Heroes Helping Heroes Fishing Tournament.

The tournament is open to any veteran, or currently serving, from any era.  Because this event is associated with the Department of Wildlife and Parks, there is no need for the veteran to have a fishing license, we even have poles if they need to use one.  

If anyone is interested in fishing in the tournament, please email Mr. Marty Thurman or contact him by phone @ 316-644-5656.

Learn more about the event.

Thank you Rangers for helping to get other Rangers out for a good day on the water.
