Meritorious Foundation (Veterans, Guns, and Cigars)

Bob Bowden on June 22, 2026

Veterans, Fishing & Cigars pairs transitioning service members and active-duty personnel with company executives on all-expenses-paid fishing charters in Tampa and South Florida. These small-group trips foster mentorship, networking, and career guidance, with participants staying connected through the Meritorious networking app for ongoing access to mentor matching, career coaches, entrepreneurship resources, professional networking events, and more.

Wisconsin Veterans Outdoors

I put this group together so we can share trips from nonprofit veteran outdoor organizations and to reach out to each other for last minute openings or assistance with outdoor activities. Please invite other other Wisconsin Veterans!

Warriors on the Water ND

The Link-Up on March 19, 2023

Warriors on the Water N.D. is an organization that provides our Nations veterans and active duty service men and women with an opportunity to enjoy a day of fishing provided by volunteers from all over North Dakota.

Our organization started in the spring of 2014 with just the simple idea of taking a few veterans fishing for a day, and we went from 30 warriors and captains our first year to over 70 warriors and captains our second year. The participants for the event come from all over North Dakota and represent several of the branches of our armed forces.

Our mission is to share our passion and hobbies with active duty and veterans that don’t have the opportunity to fish as much as we do. We have volunteers from all over the state that bring their boats to help guide the Warriors for a day on the lake.
