I'm April Voki and you're listening to Ancard. My chance to speak with some of the most

influential people involved in the fishing world today. Join me as I travel to sit face to face with my guests

in their own homes to learn more about their careers, opinions, history, relationships,

and life both on and off the water.

This episode of Ancard is dedicated to all the military men and women who have risked their lives for us over the years.

Thank you for your service, your dedication, and your selflessness.

Our lives are truly enriched because of the sacrifices you have made. David Folkertz is the Chief Operations Officer at Project Healing Waters. He first joined the Army in

1999 with the Nebraska Army National Guard and in 2005 he was deployed to Iraq where he suffered a devastating

injury that changed his life.

In this episode David opens up with me about his experience as an injured veteran and shares

how he became involved with Project Healing Waters.

Project Healing Waters is a special organization that's dedicated to the physical and emotional

rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and Disabled vets.

Through flyfishing and associated activities including education and outings,

they have made a difference in thousands of people's lives and are planning on continuing to do so.

Corn and soybeans is primarily what we raised. We also had some cows.

We had a muddy creek that flowed through our pasture land.

This is once again the middle of Midwest, so it was muddy water.

We had bullheads and carp.

Okay.
