Kelly Auto Helps Vets of the 101st Airborne Division Have Some Fishing Fun

The saying goes: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

But without veterans like the 101st Airborne Division and their Army and Navy comrades, hunger wouldn’t even matter.

Kelly Automotive was proud to help contribute to the great time had by more than 25 veterans, and we’d like to thank everyone who joined in on this great trip. Not only was the weather perfect for fishing, but it was also perfect for bringing together our nation’s heroes, especially during the month we celebrate our Independence.

“We’re definitely going to do this again,” said Dick George, adjutant of the New England Chapter of the 101st Airborne.

Here are some other great photos from the trip:
