Galveston, Texas- The Heroes for Freedom Foundation proudly hosted its 15th Annual “Salute the Heroes” Fishing Tournament, at Waterman’s Marina in Galveston, Texas, bringing together veterans, active-duty service members, volunteers, sponsors, and community supporters for an unforgettable day honoring America’s heroes.
This year marked the largest tournament in the organization’s history, with more than 28 boats and individual guides taking over 84 warriors onto the waters of Galveston for a day filled with camaraderie, healing, appreciation, and competitive fishing.
“We are incredibly grateful to our captains, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters who made this year’s tournament such a tremendous success,” said Fern Davis Co-Founder of the Foundation. “Seeing more than 84 veterans and service members enjoying fellowship and time on the water reminds us exactly why this event matters.”
