Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing a veteran that has been dedicating their time to help other veterans and community members through fishing education. The veteran the author discusses is Army SFC Hector J. Gonzalez who is originally from Puerto Rico and served in the army for twenty-six years. Gonzalez continues to help veterans and the North Carolina community through his participation with the John E. Pechmann Fishing Education Center in Fayetteville. The author discusses that Gonzalez enjoys working through the angler and boater recruitment and retention. In 2021 Gonzalez was awarded the Pechmann Fishing Education Center volunteer of the year. Gonzalez was also awarded with the AmeriCorps’ Presidential Volunteer Service Medal and was recognized by Project Healing Waters because of his volunteer work with veterans. It was seen that one reason for Gonzalez volunteer work was because he needed a new outlet when he got out of his army service.
