NOVA Bass Anglers are proud sponsors of the Annual Wounded Soldiers Tournament.  In coordination with other local Virginia and Maryland Bass Federation members, we started this event to show our appreciation for those men and women wounded fighting our Nations battles.  Most of these military personnel are recovering from their wounds at Walter Reed Army Medical Center or Bethesda Naval Medical Center in Washington DC.  Some will remain there for extended periods of time.  This is a way for us to give them a day of fishing and camaraderie on the Potomac River in Washington DC.  We truly believe this is just one small way to say "THANK YOU" to our wounded service men and women.  Their lives have been forever changed because of their selfless sacrifice to serve our country. 

This year's tournament will be held at 8:00am, June 7, 2008, at Columbia Island Marina, adjacent to the Pentagon, in Arlington, Virginia.  Colombia Island Marina waives all launch fees for festivities and provides food and refreshments for attendees at no cost.  They have been outstanding in their support for three years now.  If your going to fish in Washington, please us their facilities and enjoy some of the great food.  We also would like to thank the other outstanding businesses that support this effort and their generous support.  Remember them when you're making your next purchase.  They help us tremendously!!

We invite you to come out and join us this year.  If you have the time to volunteer, please contact Lee Branham, President, NOVA Bass Anglers at 703-236-3483 or email hoohah_1@yahoo.com. 

CTSI has been a contributor to this event since it started in 2004, and we could not do this without their outstanding support and contributions. This year the CTSI Golf Outing was a tremendous success, raising donations to add to CTSI's contributions to NoVa Bass Anglers' Wounded Soldiers Tournament. All total they provided $4,000 to this year's tournament. We'd like to pass on a special THANK YOU to MR. CHRIS CORBETT (pictured on far left), President of CTSI, for his support of the wounded soldiers. Also, we'd like to thank all those who've contributed and participated in the Golf Outing to support our efforts. We truly appreciate all that you've done over the years in support of the Wounded Soldiers Fishing Tournament.
