Soldiers Fishing Tournament

Greetings all,
My name is Sgt Blake, with the 300th Military Police Co. out of Ft Riley, KS. We have recently returned from a year in Iraq and I have been tasked with putting together a fishing tournament. The event will be open to the soldiers, their families and any local civilians interested in coming.
I am trying to make this event as great as I can for everyone. The only snag I am finding is that a lot of the soldiers and thier kids do not have fishing poles or tackle. I have lent out 7 of my own to interested soldiers, but can not spare any more. If anyone has any extra rods, reels or spare tackel that they are not using or that has just been taking up space in thier tackle box, we could use it.
Any persons that help us will recieve a Letter of Appreciation from out unit, some Iraqi currency and pictures if they request them. For more info about our company or to just see pictures of us in Iraq, go to www.mpdawg6.com and check us out. Any contributions can be sent to the following address:

Sgt James Blake

Thank you all for any help you can give us.

Sincerly,

Sgt James Blake
