I* Heroes on the Water By Dan kw, Patrick Curley & Hilanne Myers Over a million injured military veterans v^^ho served in the United States Military are hurting and need our help. Five years ago, Heroes on the Water (HOW) wras founded w^ith a single purpose: to help w^ounded warriors relax, rehabilitate, and reintegrate w^ith society through kayak fishing and the outdoors. Compared to previous wars, injuries far outnumber deaths in the recent war on terror. As a result of modern technology, spe cifically protective clothing, helmets and the advances of aeromedical evacuations, injured military personnel are surviving and returning home to the United States with both visible and invisible injuries. A majority of them return physically and emotion ally devastated, uncertain about their future—and vulnerable for the first time. January 2013 (Continued on page 3) a Success!
