Coast Guard Chatham Family Day Cookout June 7th was fantastic. The families were honored for their service to our country and Station service members were given special shirts. Crews that were out were left food and shirts. Falmouth Wounded Warfighters Fishing Day June 9th was one of the best we hosted in years. The Coast Guard, State Police & Cape Harbormasters provided the Honor Guard out of the harbor. CCVI Piper Dave Wilson Piped them out with VFW Post 10274 Dennis providing the Honor Guard. The Wounded Heroes fished for 5 hours and caught some great stripers. When the Heroes and crews returned the Boathouse Restaurant cooked the catch, and it was incredible.  Rob Warren provided the live music. All ships & crews were given special shirts, CCVI Appreciation Certificates and  our Challenge Coins. All Wounded Heroes were given shirts, coins, $50 & $100 CCVI Visa Give Cards to assist them. Much thanks to CCVI Executive Director Terry Clen for setting up both events as well as staff members who participated. Special thanks to Mary Pastone of Spaulding Rehab, the Crews  of F/V Sea Dog, Capt. Ben " Cranny" Crenshaw, F/V Islander, Capt. C.J Lambert, F/V Machaca, Capt. Willy Hatch, F/V- Lisa Marie, Capt.
