Gene with True Patriot Outfitters has the right heart for the much-needed work he does. The Veteran's Day fishing/camping outing was a great event. Gene's patience to put men and women on the water and to teach them how to fish is awesome. He is a true guide on the water putting others on fish and making memories and bonds that last beyond the time on the water. Post-fishing, Gene excels by connecting veterans and first responders and letting them share their stories while building friendships. I'm so glad I could attend this event. Gene and True Patriot Outfitters have my fullest support. Thank you Gene for what you do!
TPO provided an amazing experience for myself and an Army veteran at Hugh Butler Lake in August. His organization covered passes, camping, and dinner as well as provided tackle and watercraft for the other gentleman. While the fishing was slow, the conversation was amazing and Gene's hopsitality was boundless.
TPO is an amazing organization. Gene truly does care about vets and first responders.
The TPO and Gene have taken me out twice now. Once in April and this past weekend for veterans day. It's amazing that he wants not just the vet to be included but also their family.
Thank you again TPO for all that you do.
As the founder of the TPO, my mission is to serve those that serve or have served. Each kayak fishing and/or camping adventure shows me first hand the importance and healing powers of comradery and the outdoors. Giving our nation's warfighters a weekend of experiences and friendship is so powerful that it truly is the driving force behind the TPO. The adventures will land on each person different and some will take deep healing while others simply will enjoy the relaxation of the event. This type of "therapy" is vital for these warriors and it is our mission to provide the best possible experience.
