About Us Our group is dedicated to thanking our veterans for their service protecting the many freedoms that we enjoy everyday. How we have grown We started in 2009 with our first outing that hosted 60 people. In 2012 we added a second chapter on Lake Fenton based out of “Skipper Buds’” and we hosted over 150 people. We expanded again in 2014 adding our Blue Water Chapter. In 2017 our Lake St. Clair chapter hosted over 160 people with the help of numerous volun- teers and the staff of “The Idle Hour Yacht Club”. In 2018 we look to make the event even better than 2017 because we can simply not do enough to show our gratitude for those who served.
