On July 29, Florida Keys Elks Lodge’s Vets on the Water program granted the wish of 93-year-old Vietnam veteran Marlin, who is in hospice, to go fishing one more time. He is pictured with his daughter. Vets on the Water was originally funded by the Elks National Foundation $10,000 Impact Grant for four years, but it is now solely supported by lodge fundraisers. The program funds several water activities for veterans, including going out on a sailboat, snorkeling, group fishing on charter boats and touring the Keys.
