NC Fishing trip hosted by OT4V
A veterans' organization is looking for veterans to go on a deep-sea fishing trip this fall.
On Target 4 Vets is a non-profit organization that provides funding to support disabled veterans through sports and recreational activities.
Every year, the organization holds fishing trips for veterans. The next one is Oct. 9.
On Target 4 Vets has raised enough money to take 35 veterans and their guests out on the water. One of the organization's board members said the group is excited to do this for the veterans so they can thank them for their service.
"We just want the veterans to come and have a good time and mingle and talk to the other veterans because we all have something in common," On Target 4 Vets board member and Outreach Coordinator Joe Couch said.
To learn more about the trip, you can call Couch at (252) 671-9452.

Riverwood Mansion in East Nashville to Host 'Local Fest'
Riverwood Mansion in East Nashville to Host 'Local Fest'
You’ll be donating part of the proceeds to On Target 4 Vets — why was that organization chosen specifically?
“I recently met Michael Paul, the founder of On Target 4 Vets, and quickly became a huge fan of what he is doing for veterans. On Target 4 Vets made a huge impact for many veterans in Colorado, and with a recent move to Nashville, we saw Local Fest as a great opportunity to get the ball rolling for them here.
“With their small infrastructure, On Target 4 Vets does not have a bunch of executives with six-figure salaries that many of the large 501c3s have. Therefore, their funds go directly into impacting the lives of veterans, while serving their mission to ‘provide funding to support and mentor disabled veterans through sports and recreational therapy.’ Working with a small charity that has a direct impact ties into the Local Fest theme as well.
“We have been at war now for over 10 years, so there are so many vets coming back with debilitating physical and emotional injuries. Unfortunately this has led to a suicide epidemic amongst returning veterans. No matter where you are politically, I think it's important that we all understand the true cost of war beyond dollars and cents. And it's really important that we help them overcome any obstacles that war has put into their life.”
