“This is a reset button for me”

The folks at Johnson & Sekin wanted us to know about the veteran organization Heroes on the Water;

The Heroes on the Water program lets mother nature do what she has done for hundreds of years: heal. It’s an individual thing, each wounded warrior draws something different from it. But to a person, each one reconnects with a part of himself or herself that they thought was lost.

Heroes on the Water helps injured service members with their physical and mental recovery using the therapeutic qualities of fishing from kayaks. Every HOW event across the country brings together wounded military personnel for guided kayak fishing excursions. Participants are taught kayaking and kayak fishing basics, and sometimes adaptive kayaks and paddling equipment are required. Warriors hang out with other kayak anglers, connect with colleagues and most of all leave behind stresses and memories for several hours communing with nature.
