Kodiak readies to take Wounded Warriors out fishing

Peter Malley, a former Marine now living in Kodiak, remembers well how poorly fellow American citizens treated him and other veterans returning from Vietnam.
Today, with another unpopular war being waged in Iraq, he hoped there was something he could do for returning soldiers who had risked their lives fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Every day, they faced car bombs and ambushes. Some lost limbs or received other permanent injuries. They are heroes who should be appreciated for all they have sacrificed, not forgotten or ridiculed for a job they were sent to do, Malley said.
