It's Veteran's Day, and one awesome way I've found to give back to our soldiers is through a group called Take A Soldier Fishing, I have been been fortunate enough to take out returning Iraq/Afghanistan veterans for two years through this org. It's just as rewarding to me as it is to my solidier guests. Check it out, and if you have the time and a boat, sign up and take a soldier fishing. It's a cool and fun way to say thank you.

About patrick_sciacca
Patrick started on boats at the age of two on his father’s 31-foot Downeaster, and spent most of his childhood fishing the waters off the south shore of Long Island. An avid offshore angler and regular tournament participant, he’s a steady visitor to the East Coast canyons onboard his 31-foot Ocean Master Expeditor and the 43 Viking Blinky III. Patrick’s also fished the waters of Mexico, Costa Rica, North Carolina, South Florida, Jamaica, and the BVI for everything from blue, white, and striped marlin to swordfish and giant tuna. The family’s seafaring tradition continues with Patrick’s three-year-old son, Kevin Aidan, who came onboard his daddy’s boat when he was just two weeks old.
Prior to his post at Power & Motoryacht, Patrick worked as a teacher and held editorial positions at newspapers and trade magazines. He currently holds a USCG 50-ton Master license and is an IGFA certified tournament observer.
