Did you have a good time at the Lake Conroe BOASTY event?
A week ago, I was in the Houston Texas area for a BOASTY event which was an absolutly fantastic time. Everyone started showing up early as most of them were coming from another event nearby. We had guests from all military branches, both active and retired, both healthy and unfortunately the wounded. All in all, it was a very complete representation of our nations military. From the responses I got, quite everyone was just completely blown away by what we were doing. Some thought it was a scam, some thought "how could the boaters really be doing this?" Not even an hour into the day, the reports were of total amazement! By dinner and the dj music which followed, most were completely satisfied that BOASTY IS REAL!
I'd love to see replies from the guests we had out there. So let's get this thread going!

Both my wife, Toni and I had a great time at this event. We flew down from PA to be a part of this very special event. The weekend turned out to be one of the most awe inspiring weekends of our life. From the warm reception we received from the hosts at the Palms Marina, especially from Joe and Nichole, to the great guests that showed up for the event, we had a great time. The most memorialable moment happened when I was on the houseboat :It's A Blessing". I sat there and listened two Wounded Warriors that had both been injuried in Iraq. Their injuries where life changing yet the two of them sat there and talked about their ordeal like it was no big deal. Neither one of them had any remorse or self pity. This conversation was so moving that I had a tear in my eye. This is what BOASTY is all about, giving back to these great heroes and letting them forget their problems for a day. We are so looking forward to next year, we know it will be bigger and better.

The Lake Conroe BOASTY event was an incredible day for me to finally see the joy it brought to the lives our service men and women as well as our hosts. Many new friendships were made that day, ones that will not fade. I am very honored to have been a part of an event that allowed me to thank our service men and women in a platform that is so important to me on a personal level.

Hey, when do you think we should start working on organizing for next year? Make it even bigger and better. Also, this time around, let's choose or vote rather on a veterans organization which funds raised can be put to good use like to send care packages overseas to the men and women still over there.

My best video of the Texas Freedom Flyers |
|
This is I think my best video I shot of the Texas Freedom Flyers group over Lake Conroe at the BOASTY Event! Boy was this a surprise. I had no idea that they were going to be doing this. I just wish they would have swooped in lower so that we could have read their tail numbers. That would have been cool! The other thing about this video is that I have believe it or not become a country music fan. The song on the stereo was Montgomery Gentry "This is My Town". It was such a fitting song to be playing on the radio that day. In a single weekend I decided that I wanted to become a Texan! Not so much because in Texas these people use their boats 365 days a year! It was everything! |

Nicole and Joe,
I really must say that it was a true and unique pleasure to work with you on the Conroe Boasty event. You two are truly in a class all by yourselves! I hope that this is going to be an event which happens every single year for many years to come!
Again, Thanks so much from me and all the Veterans!
