TAMCO 2009 Grand Slam Charity Tournament
In looking at the month of April, I realized I was on the road 23 days this month. Now, that is a LOT of time away from my family, but when I get to come to events like the 2009 Grand Slam Charity Tournament in Tampa, put on by the great people of TAMCO Foundation on April 16th and 17th, and I get to see the patriotism of so many great Americans, it makes life on the road easier. The Tampa VA Hospital brings out some of our wounded heroes to fish in this great charity tournament.
Now some of you are probably thinking, “BJ is fishing and not golfing. What's up?” Well, I have to tell you, Jack Thompson, a true Hero to us and his TAMCO Foundation team of volunteers “do it right”. General Chip Diehl, along with fellow wounded heroes Gary Boggs, Pete Reid and his wife, Michele, and Laura Narvaez were able to attend, as well, to support the Grand Slam Fishing Tournament. They all say, "If you love to fish, this is the tournament for you."
62 boats fishing for Redfish, Snook, and Trout on Old Tampa Bay: a true fishing Grand Slam! Wounded Heroes and great stories; what more could you ask for?
Mr. Thompson, from my family (Wounded Heroes) to yours (fishing people and volunteers), thank you!!! I challenge anyone who reads this to think of ways to support this event. Better yet, start one of your own. Go to their website www.tamcofoundation.org to learn more about this annual event. This is just one example of a great American using his resources to assist our wounded.
So, to TAMCO and Jack Thompson, I salute you!
