TU Veterans Service Partnership

Throughout its history, our nation has been blessed with an extraordinary band of men and women who have sacrificed so much for the people of our nation. Regardless of the situation, regardless of the danger, these brave individuals have answered the call to protect our liberties and freedoms. Trout Unlimited is appreciative of their sacrifices and their service. In ever-growing numbers, our members are stepping up to provide healing, rehabilitation, hope and community to all veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much to protect the freedoms we all enjoy.

The Veterans Service Partnership (VSP) is a nationwide effort initiated by Trout Unlimited in 2011 to bring the healing power of water to those who have served our nation so boldly. The goal of VSP is to get TU chapters and members thinking about how they can actively engage our nation’s active duty military and veteran population locally by serving those who have served us in events and activities associated with fishing.

Dustin Wing, a Kiap-TU-Wish member and veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, is setting up a VSP program for our chapter. He needs help from us to get started, so please email him at dustinrwing@gmail.com with your response to the following questions:

  1. Are you a veteran, active duty, guard/reserve or immediate family member of someone with military service? Please explain.
  2. Would you be interested in participating or volunteering at VSP events held by Kiap- TU-Wish or partner organizations?
  3. Would you be interested in serving on a VSP sub-committee within Kiap-TU-Wish?

For details about the program, visit the TU website and search “Veterans Service Partnership.”
