Hook Line & Heroes: Finding Peace for Veterans on the Water

  Allan McCoy, founder and president of the nonprofit Hook Line & Heroes, shares how his passion for veterans and fishing—shaped by his father’s experience as a WWII D-Day veteran—led him to create a Christian-based organization focused on helping veterans, especially those with service-connected disabilities, find relief and peace through small, guided fishing trips. He explains why Hook Line & Heroes prioritizes quality over quantity, covering costs like guides, meals, lodging, and gratuities, and keeping trips to one to four veterans to ensure they feel valued and supported. Allan describes their application and verification process, the current backlog, and how supporters can help through social media, fundraising, monthly donations, and sponsorships.   To find out more about Allen and Hook, Line & Heroes   Click below to view that video that is mentioned in the podcast.    Video   Thank you sponsors of Brew and Chew Right At Home Care Patrol of Charlotte  Ask for Deb Weezy Inc
