Another Pay It Forward veterans event is in the books, and it was a good one. This year, 99 participants came to Lake of the Woods for three nights of lodging, two days of fishing, and a few days built entirely around honoring their service.
Pay It Forward isn’t just a fishing trip. It’s a chance for veterans to relax, swap stories, and spend time with people who understand what they’ve been through. Some came with other veteran fishing buddies. Others came alone and left with new friends. That’s the whole point.
The misison of Pay It Forward is to honor, recognize and celebrate all veterans. As in past years, this year’s event was magical. Organizers and generous resorts and sponsors set the state. The magic, we believe, is veterans spending time with other veterans in this setting.
