Freedom Fighters Outdoors 2019 Outing a Huge Success in Montauk

Once again Freedomfightersoutdoors.org sponsored 30 United States vets for some wonderful fishing in the waters off Montauk on Thursday June 20,2019. Montauk’s own, Jennifer and Sal Zatkowski hosted the after party on Thursday evening at their East Lake Drive home in Montauk.

The after-party celebration featured the music of Gus Fafalios and his band “Deep Sea Revival!” Jennifer and Sal proudly announced to the 90 attending the party that Ray Crawford and Ed Brameister landed the two largest striped bass. Ray and Ed were both awarded a JOHN Wanag (of MTK Custom Rods.)

Freedomfightersoutdoors.org is an Injured Veteran Charity founded to show gratitude to our nations injured service veterans and their families for their sacrifices and to raise awareness and seek public aid for needs, services and activities for injured service veterans and facilitate injured service veterans in assisting each other through teamwork based outdoor recreational activities. This is achieved by providing unique, once in a lifetime outdoor activity to honor and empower our nations injured service veterans. This is done to assist our nations injured veterans in their transition from the armed services to civilian life by showing our gratitude through organized outdoor activities.

What better place to achieve these goals then Montauk? With its plentiful and abundant quality sport fishing right off shore and its reputation as a "World Class Fishing Village," all the vets were pleased and amazed at how beautiful Montauk is. They all had a thrill fishing off the famed and historic Montauk Lighthouse. Rough sea conditions limited this year’s fishing; however the vets were all thumbs up about their experience.

Once again it was Sal and some volunteers ,who made a lot of the appetizers and were supervising the buffet/ BBQ that included a whole roasted pig. This was the fifth year Sal and Jennifer have hosted the event at their beautiful home on East Lake Drive overlooking Montauk Harbor. The weather co-operated and with a beautiful Montauk harbor backdrop. Also on hand was Helen "Diva" McGuire who provided musical entertainment via her Karaoke services which are second to none in the Hamptons.
