Fishing Friday at U.S. Southern Command

A Day of Fishing for Veterans and Active Duty Members at U.S. Southern Command

Vet Info offers Veterans and Active Duty service members a unique opportunity to take a break, unwind, and learn about fishing at U.S. Southern Command. Held on the third Friday of every month, this event provides a fun and exciting way for those who have served our country to connect with nature, relax, and learn a new skill.

Veterans who have access to the U.S. Southern Command facility are invited to join this special event, which runs from 11 AM to 3 PM each month. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, the event is designed to be welcoming and enjoyable for all. It’s an excellent chance to step away from the stresses of daily life, spend time outdoors, and engage in a therapeutic and rewarding activity.

The fishing event is not just about fishing; it’s also about community. It provides an opportunity for Veterans and Active Duty members to socialize, share stories, and connect with others who understand their experiences. The event creates a supportive environment where participants can relax and enjoy a day away from their usual routine.

Participants will have access to all necessary equipment and guidance from experienced fishing instructors. Whether you are casting your first line or honing your skills, the event offers both fun and valuable learning experiences. Additionally, the atmosphere is laid-back, making it the perfect setting for both relaxation and excitement.

Vet Info aims to provide a well-deserved break for Veterans and Active Duty members, offering them a chance to enjoy nature, learn new skills, and take part in a supportive community. Don’t miss this exciting event on the third Friday of every month!
