<<Previous      Next>> All Fellow Marines After being disabled in Afghanistan I salute Ranger for this page. I spend more time in my ‘89 Ranger now, she may be old but I can't afford a new one so I wont buy another. I am in MS now but from Harrison and Camden AR. My little boy had it hard while I was in Afghanistan. After being injured he didn't know where they sent me and I was not able to call or write to tell him I would be ok. But now every time we get into our Ranger his eyes just gleam with happiness to know I am home. So thank you Ranger and to all who have served. Semper Fi. Rex --Rex A Ranger boats and the FLW! I don't know if this the right place to thank Ranger boats, Irwin Jacobs, and FLW, but I'll try. We are doing a Vets muskie fishing trip this summer on the Lake of the Woods, with 20 Vets participating. This has been met with overwhelming support from a number of folks including FLW, Irvin Jacobs, and I'm sure Ranger boats. I'd like to thank the folks who support our troops for their help! Thanks again! D. Johnson --Doug J My Ranger story I was serving in Iraq when I came home on leave. Already my dad and I were talking of buying a new boat when I got home since all we do is bass fish. While on leave I found this immaculate Ranger. A 362V, I had to have it. Not getting to use it because of returning to duty I made plans to spend time with my Father when I returned. Unfortunately my father had a stroke and heart attack simultaneously. Every time I take the boat out I hear him say, son take care of her and she'll outlive us both. Thanks for the memories Forrest L. Wood. I Love my Ranger. --w c I love my Ranger boat My name is Sgt. Dusty Hill, I retired from the Army National Guard at the age of 22 due to injuries while serving in Iraq. I bought my first Ranger boat 2 years ago. It is a 1991 model, so it’s used, and I’m sure it’s seen its better days but I love using it. I am looking to buy a newer one. I just had a baby January 23rd so I’m looking for a boat that will better suit us as she grows up. I am looking at the 186 Reata. I think it will make a great boat for us to be able to spend good quality family time together. THANK YOU RANGER FOR SUPPORTING THE TROOPS!!! --Dusty H two sons in the USMC I have two sons in the Corp both CWO2. The oldest just south of Baghdad on his third tour and the other in Kuwait on his second. When they do come home with their families in the summer the first thing they want to do is go out in the Ranger. My wife and I get to see them about every year and a half, so when they do come home we spend a lot of time on the water. Mark --mark s wishing I owned a Ranger! Hello, my name is Morgan King. I'm a 32 year old Blackhawk Medevac pilot currently deployed to Iraq. I'm finally at a point in my life where I can actually think realistically about buying the boat I've always wanted. I'm a die hard bass fisherman from S.E. GA. My dream is a Reata 210 and hopefully if all goes well I'll be haulin' boogie up and down the Savannah river this summer. Your boats are simply the best!! Can't wait. --morgan k Missin' my fishin Dear Ranger, Thank you for your support. I’m currently away from my wife and son serving in Iraq. I look forward to coming home and buying a new Ranger VS 177 and taking my family Bassin'. Thank You, Michael --Michael C Dreaming of a Ranger I am a SPC in the Army. I have done 3 combat tours and now help train new Soldiers here at Ft. Sill, OK. Having a wife and 3 kids, money is a thing of the past. I have always dreamed of owning a Ranger boat and still do. I was able to recently able to buy a boat. Sadly its not a ranger, and its old. Every time I set out on the water, I pray to make it back to the docks under its own power. Some day, probably when I retire, I will get my Ranger Boat. Thanks for the support. Keep making the quality boats that the other companies wish they had. --Gary S This Marine Loves his Ranger!! I am a Staff Seargent in the U.S. Marine Corps. I have been fishing for years, but my love of fishing was renewed upon my return from my second tour in Iraq. I bought my first Ranger boat 6 months ago, and have decided to trade in my M-16 and Hummer for a G-Loomis and Ranger boat! If all goes according to plan, I will be fishing the BFL Series this year and transitioning into a new career as a Professional Bass Angler. I look forward to a rewarding career and a mutually fruitful relationship with Ranger Boats. Remember my name....no doubt I will be part of the Ranger Pro-Staff soon! --Ray C Thank You for the Support It is very nice that you support the troops and post on your website. I am in the United States Marine Corps and when I returned from Iraq in May, I was on the hunt for a nice bassboat. After searching for about 3 weeks I finally stumbled across the boat I have now – A 2003 35th Anniversary Chevy Edition Ranger. It is a beautiful boat! My wife and I are very happy with every aspect of the boat. Unfortunatly I have to leave my Wife and the Ranger due to another deployment. You ask for a favorite fishing story? AREN'T THEY ALL FAVORITES?!? Once again thanks for the support and keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Ben Brodt SSgt/USMC --Ben B Serving Proudly Dear Ranger, I would personally like to thank all of you for all the support you have provided our troops. I would personally like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Wood for taking the time to talk to my two sons at the Classic in North Carolina a couple of years ago. I just returned home from Afghanistan and needless to say the boys played with the boats all day long. They still wear their autographed hats to this day. I would also like to thank Bonnie Schlote and Ranger Boats for providing hats and T-shirts for our Battalion Ranger Boats Softball team who won the Fort Bragg post Championship in 2006. I am currently in Iraq for the third time and won't redeploy until 2009. I sold my 2000 Ranger 519vs before my last deployment and regret getting rid of it. It is very hard to buy a boat when you know its going to sit for 15 months. I can't afford a new Ranger but know where my loyalty lies. I miss the boys very much. I can't think of a better way to catch up on lost time than setting the water on fire. Thanks again to all the fine Americans at Ranger Boats for your generosity and support. Serving Proudly, SGM Troy Henderson 101st ABN (AASLT) Div --Troy H Fishing on Base. Right know I am stationed out in the desert. All I think about is getting back to the States for fishing. That's all I did the last time I was back home. I arranged for all my uncles and cousins to go on a fishing trip on Lake Mille Lacs in Minnesota. We took a boat out and had a blast, catching walleyes and a lot of fishing stories. That was the best part of my trip home, because when I got back I found out I was deploying to the desert for 4 months or more. That's my fishing story. --Devin W <<Previous      Next>>
