Miami – 35th Anniversay of Desert Storm
Come join us for the 35th Anniversay of Desert Storm at the Miami Military Museum.
Cast Off 22 Kicks Off the New Year in Classic Style with U.S. Air Force Veteran Kipp Williams and Family.
Vet Info kicked off the New Year in style aboard the Cast Off 22 with our first Veteran trip of the year. In partnership with MWR Miami and in support of those who serve in the United States Military, we were honored to begin 2026 with a Family Veteran Fishing Trip.
U.S. Air Force Veteran Kipp Williams, along with his wife Ruka and their son Max, spent the day together in the Florida Everglades fishing for bass—and whatever else decided to bite. Although we didn’t catch many fish, the experience was unforgettable as we encountered nearly 50 alligators throughout the day, adding to the excitement and uniqueness of the trip.
At Vet Info, our mission is to enhance the quality of life for those who have served and continue to serve our great nation. Under the guidance of Capt. Bill Watts, the day was filled with laughter, relaxation, and lasting memories made aboard the Cast Off 22.

Message from Founder Bill Watts
As a former member of the United States Army, the holidays always remind me how important it is to honor those who have served—and those who are serving right now. I spent more than one holiday season far from the people I loved, proudly wearing the uniform of our nation.
From the deserts of Egypt, to the DMZ ( Camp Casey ) in South Korea, and during Desert Storm in 1990 and 1991, those moments were not easy. One holiday, I received a care package from my mother filled with some of my favorite foods and cookies. That simple gesture meant everything—bringing warmth and comfort to me in the middle of a desert, more than 10,000 miles from home.
When we speak of those in uniform, we must also remember the families who feel their absence every single day. Behind every service member is a family missing them, especially during the holidays.
SSGT Jimmy Haws—gone but never forgotten. To those I proudly served alongside—1st Sgt. Maynard Meadows, Jonah Booth, Steven Mafnas, Cpl Cruz, SSGT Berley, and so many others from C Battery, 4/5 ADA, 1st Cavalry Division—you are truly missed. I hope one day our paths cross again.
To all Veterans, active-duty service members, and their families: thank you for your sacrifice, your strength, and your service. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a strong, hopeful New Year.
