The Star Spangled Salute is presented by
Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Desert Storm Veteran Tom Marchetti. Just recently Tom had the chance to put a fly fishing rod in his hands for the very first time, thanks to the amazing organization Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing. Tom grew up near the water, served as a rescue swimmer in the Navy but never had much interest in fly fishing until he attended a fly tying session with Project Healing Waters at the recommendation of a peer support specialist. Tom says the concentration it takes to tie flies takes his mind off his PTSD. Congratulations Tom on finding a new passion and THANK YOU for your service.
