AHERO would like to extend an invitation to all local boaters and anglers to join us at this year’s AHERO "Armada Launch”. Boat owners should arrive at the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk Pier on August 19 at 6:30 am. At 7:00 am, we will be launching boats into Pensacola’s Gulfside. Two aerial drones will be recording the event for a promotional video. This video will demonstrate community support for "Warrior Hook-Up” weekend, and for AHERO’s overall mission.

AHERO (America's Heroes Enjoying Recreation Outdoors) is fighting back against the tragic loss of our Veterans to suicide. By providing fellowship and mentoring opportunities through outdoor recreational activities and athletic events, we are creating bonds among participants and the ability to see life in a new light, together. We are bringing 20 severely wounded/injured American heroes to our shores August 18-21 for the 5th Annual Pensacola Beach "Warrior Hook-up,” where local and regional boat owners will host a day of fishing enjoyment. Although we have secured enough boat owners to take these Veterans fishing, we are still in need of more community support for our "Armada Launch”. 

AHERO pays for all transportation, lodging and event logistics through generous, tax-deductible contributions by the public. 

We invite all boaters and anglers to attend this event. You can register your boat here.
