Veterans with disabilities honored with 66th annual fishing & boating trip
Around 200 local veterans with disabilities were treated to a day of fishing and boating off Houghs Neck on Wednesday afternoon, part of the 66th annual Harvey’s Saltwater Fishing Club veterans’ fishing trip. Club president Kevin Gomez said it’s a cause close to his heart. “It’s a great feeling,” Gomez told Boston 25 News. “I have a lot of veterans in my family. My father was in Vietnam. My grandfather was in World War II. I have an uncle who was killed in Vietnam. It means a lot to me and everyone I know to show these people the honor and respect they deserve.” More than 100 volunteers came out to support the annual fishing trip, including 20 vessels ranging from lobster to harbor cruise boats. All supplies are donated or paid for through fundraising, including a catered dinner at the end of the event.
